The King's English

The King's English, Betsy Burton.  A gossipy, engrossing account of the opening and running of an independent bookstore in Salt Lake City.  Full of tasty booklists, the challenges of selling to Mormons and gentiles alike, and author signing stories.  This is as much an account of the changing landscape of book retail as story of one particular store.  Recommended for readers who've enjoyed books by Nicholas Basbanes and Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone.
