Books Are Like Rice

"Books are like Rice: Or, All I Never Wanted to Know about Bookselling," though a true, sometimes humorous, memoir of bookselling, is not intended as a "how-to-succeed-in-business book." It does, however, contain some useful information for those who are interested in an insecure future selling books and other media.

This book is more simply a reflection on the insanity we know as bibliophilia; punctuated by earthquakes and madness. It also compares the old ways of bookselling and book buying with the new ways of today. The comparisons might be deemed more worthy of the madness designation.
