‘"Just that book that can't fit on the shelf"’
Real Name: Jake Shaps
Interests: biking, book collecting, I like getting lost on purpose just to stumble upon a bookshop I have never been in., Reading
About Me:
I have been working at independant bookstores for the last 4 years, I love them, it's my hobbie, life, and career. It's just so difficult to keep them running if you don't own the building. Currently I work at 2 of them. Morningside bookshop on 116th and broadway NYC and one in the town of Hastings-on-hudson NY called Galapagos Books. I have been at a few that have went out of business and I hope not to see it happen again!
Here is an article in the New York times about a bookshop that I use to work in: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/24/nyregion/nyregionspecial2/24colwe.html...
