Bookloving author and publisher
“Books speak to us thoughtfully, one at a time. They demand our attention. And they demand that we briefly put aside our own beliefs and prejudices and listen to someone else’s. There’s one questions I think we should ask one another a lot more often, and that’s “what are you reading?”

~ Books for Living, written by Will Schwalbe

Bookloving author and publisher
“I think when a reader reads a whole book - which takes six to ten hours - that’s kind of a gift to the author. The gift of close, undivided attention. To who else do we listen so closely for eight straight hours? And when readers give that gift to me, I’m grateful for it.. A piece of writing has to seduce the reader, it has to suspend disbelief and earn the reader’s trust.”

~ Po Bronson
