Mary Ann Shaffer
“That's what I love about reading: one tiny thing will interest you in a book, and that tiny thing will lead you to another book, and another bit there will lead you onto a third book. It's geometrically progressive - all with no end in sight, and for no other reason than sheer enjoyment.”
Mary Ann Shaffer, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Anna Dewdney
“No more of this llama drama!”
Anna Dewdney, Llama Llama Mad at Mama

Mary Ann Shaffer
“It was amazing to me then, and still is, that so many people who wander into bookshops don't really know what they're after--they only want to look around and hope to see a book that will strike their fancy. And then, being bright enough not to trust the publisher's blurb, they will ask the book clerk the three questions: (1) What is it about? (2) Have you read it? (3) Was it any good?”
Mary Ann Shaffer, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Diana Gabaldon
“Forgiveness is not a single act, but a matter of constant practice.”
Diana Gabaldon, Drums of Autumn

Mary Ann Shaffer
“I love seeing the bookshops and meeting the booksellers-- booksellers really are a special breed. No one in their right mind would take up clerking in a bookstore for the salary, and no one in his right mind would want to own one-- the margin of profit is too small. So, it has to be a love of readers and reading that makes them do it-- along with first dibs on the new books.”
Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrow, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
