The thing to remember is this is a book about buying books and the history of buying books. It has a bias towards brick and mortal Bookshops.
It has a bias against libraries and online booksellers particularly Amazon. It is also not a fan of books sold in stores like Target, Walmart, and Macy's.
Remember:
It is not a book about reading.
