If I wasn't a librarian, I think I'd like to be a bookstore owner. After reading The King's English, I see it is a lot harder than it seems. Competition with big chains...tiffs among owners and employees...finding readers...difficulties obtaining books...prima donna authors...and those are the big problems. Nevertheless, the author, owner of Salt Lake City's premier independent bookstore The King's English, wouldn't do anything other than run her store. A fun read.
