Reviews
"A must-read." --Publishers Weekly (starred review of first edition) "Everything you always wanted to know about the book business but were afraid to ask." --Eric Carle, author of The Very Hungry Caterpillar "Andy has put so much passion into his book that it is impossible to read before bed: the book incites a disturbing concoction of adrenalin and hormones that rages against that good night. Not only does Andy not go gently there, he refuses to go, period. This book is heartfelt and honest." --Bernie Rath, former executive director, American Booksellers Association, "A must-read." - Publishers Weekly (starred review of first edition) "Everything you always wanted to know about the book business but were afraid to ask." -Eric Carle, author of The Very Hungry Caterpillar "Andy has put so much passion into his book that it is impossible to read before bed: the book incites a disturbing concoction of adrenalin and hormones that rages against that good night. Not only does Andy not go gently there, he refuses to go, period. This book is heartfelt and honest." -Bernie Rath, former executive director, American Booksellers Association "The local independent bookstore was long a hallmark and core contributor to the intellectual life and well-being of individuals and communities. In this modern era of "big box" bookstores, chain store booksellers, online book sellers, and digital publishing, those traditional independent bookstores are becoming an 'endangered species'. That's why Andrew Laties "Rebel Bookseller: Why Indie Bookstores Represent Everything You Want to Fight for from Free Speech to Buying Local to Building Communities" is such a timely and important contribution to our national dialogue. Now in a fully updated and significantly expanded second edition, "Rebel Bookseller" is a personal history of how Laties got into selling books, how he has survived and even prospered against book marketing factors that have proved devastating to so many others, the growth of the big chain booksellers, and more. Of special note are the wealth of anecdotes, innovations in book selling, and the cogent 'real world' advice for anyone contemplating starting up an independent bookstore of their own. Informed and informative, occasionally inspired and inspiring, "Rebel Bookseller" is very highly recommended reading." - Midwest Book Review "The revival of independent bookselling has already begun and is one of the amazing stories of our times. Laties wrote the first edition of "Rebel Bookseller" six years ago, hoping it would spark a movement. Now, with this second edition, his book can serve as a rallying cry for everyone who wants to better understand how the rise of the big bookstore chains led irrevocably to their decline, and how even in the face of electronic readers from three of America's largest and most successful companies - Apple, Amazon and Google - the movement to support locally owned independent stores, especially bookstores, is on the rise. So, yes-despite the pessimistic cries from doomsayers-the book is not dead." - Philadelphia Tribune "Andy Laties has been a huge inspiration to me and many of my fellow booksellers, and his passion is as galvanizing as his business models. Not every one of his self-proclaimed wild ideas will make sense for every store or in every market (that's the nature of independents), but the very fact of someone out there turning received wisdom about the book business on its head, and thinking about things in truly new and optimistic ways, has made a difference that can be seen in the new crop of indie bookstores that has sprung up in recent years. We owe a lot to Andy for shaking things up, and I'm excited about this new edition getting out there and blowing the minds of even more book people." -Jessica Stockton Bagnulo, Greenlight Bookstore, "A must-read." - Publishers Weekly (starred review of first edition) "Everything you always wanted to know about the book business but were afraid to ask." -Eric Carle, author of The Very Hungry Caterpillar "Andy has put so much passion into his book that it is impossible to read before bed: the book incites a disturbing concoction of adrenalin and hormones that rages against that good night.
