Quote of the Day

'Booksellers Are Always Enthusiastic Nerds with Deep Wells of Knowledge'

"I'm lucky enough to live in Minneapolis, where there are lots of specialty bookstores a stone's throw from my house.... I literally have a bookstore for every conceivable need in absolutely any direction I want to go, and a few of them are reasonably walkable from me.

"I love going to my local shops because I'm usually looking for something odd, and the booksellers are always enthusiastic nerds with deep wells of knowledge. Absolutely nothing beats coming in with a bizarre request and watching a bookseller come alive, and I usually walk away with the story of a particular book if not the book itself. Book people are incredible."

--Trung Le Nguyen, whose book Angelica and the Bear Prince (Random House Graphic) is the #1 November/December Kids' Indie Next List pick, in a q&a with Bookselling This Week
