"November, a dark, rainy Tuesday, late afternoon. This is my ideal
time to be in a bookstore. The shortened light of the afternoon and
the idleness and hush of the hour gather everything close, the
shelves and the books and the few other customers who graze
head-bent in the narrow aisles. There's a clerk at the counter who
stares out the front window, taking a breather before the evening

《英语书籍:The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop 简介》:
November, a dark, rainy Tuesday, late afternoon. This is
my ideal time to be in a bookstore. The shortened light
of the afternoon and the idleness and hush of the hour
gather everything close, the shelves and the books and
the few other customers who graze head-bent in the
narrow aisles.
In "The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop," Buzbee, a former
bookseller and sales representative, celebrates the
unique experience of the bookstore--the smell and
touch of books, the joy of getting lost in the deep
canyons of shelves, and the silent community of readers.
He shares his passion for books, which began with ordering
through the "Weekly Reader" in grade school. Woven
throughout is a fascinating historical account of the
bookseller trade--from the great Alexandria library
with an estimated one million papyrus scrolls to
Sylvia Beach's famous Paris bookstore, Shakespeare &
Co., that led to the extraordinary effort to publish
and sell James Joyce's "Ulysses."
Rich with anecdotes, "The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop" is
the perfect choice for those who relish the enduring
pleasures of spending an afternoon finding just the
right book.
