Planning to delete this account shortly, which is a real bummer. Whenever anyone whines about the "liberal media" remind them rich conservatives will just buy whatever pisses them off and wreck it. Find me @joshthelibromancer.bsky.social & joshthelibromancer on the grams
"To Poe, solving the mystery was almost besides the point. People being totally weird as fuck was the real game."
Thanks @InOrderOfImport for shouting out @sklimnagem's MARGARET AND THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING BODY in this month's newsletter https://t.co/glUTBF2MAM
"Every book is a decision."@InOrderOfImport on how booksellers curate their shelves
Also: "You've got to read a shit-ton of books to be a really good bookseller."

"There is no such thing as a 'nonpolitical' bookstore."
Preach, Josh Cook (@InOrderOfImport)!
Worth a read: this @esquire interview from @adriennemwest on what booksellers can do to advance social justice in their stores.

@InOrderOfImport @PorterSqBooks have been incredibly supportive of @SandorfP. So I was psyched to hear Josh discuss @biblioasis The Art of Libromancy @printbookstore with @jchristie. Yes, it’s a book about selling books, but at its core it’s about the power of community building.
Read @InOrderOfImport's "The Art of Libromancy". Fascinating anecdotes + examples about bookselling, not least an insiders account of the American Dirt fiasco & a moving account of working during the pandemic. Was less interested in some of the political stuff, but that was 1/3
Give Ep48 a listen if you're into Somerset Maugham, surreal literature, Commodore 64s, and @InOrderOfImport's new book of essays.
