From a devoted reader and lifelong bookseller, an eloquent and charming reflection on the singular importance of bookstores
"[Deutsch’s] manifesto celebrates browsing as essential to the thinking life. . . . In Praise of Good Bookstores clearly articulates the positive contribution good bookstores can make. . . . Good bookstores don’t bring redemption; they help us live together without it. By keeping the Seminary Co-op’s doors open and its shelves well stocked, Deutsch contributes daily to this essential work."---Aaron Tugendhaft, Jewish Review of Books
