The unique lives of bookstores across America are captured in words and original oil paintings in this loving tribute to booksellers and bibliophiles.
For decades, publisher Gibbs M. Smith visited bookstores across the United States. Inspired by the unique personality and ambiance of these community cultural hubs, he made oil paintings of these bookstores to feature on the covers of his publishing company's catalogue each season.
The Art of the Bookstore collects sixty-eight of these paintings, pairing them with quotes, essays and remembrances about booksellinga pursuit that is often more art than sciencefrom Smith as well as other industry veterans. This volume captures the unique atmosphere of iconic bookshops including New York City's Strand Bookstore, Washington, D.C.'s Politics & Prose, and L.A.'s Book Soup.
