A bookstore's editorial voice

Posted by: Stephen Baker on November 13

Skrentablog ruminates on the voice of a bookstore:

This was a new idea to me… the idea that a bookstore could have an “editorial voice”, based on what they feature on the the end caps, the “staff picks” tables, the books turned cover-facing-out on the bookshelves, and overall in the selection of books that are stocked.

The bookstore with the best voice, for my tastes, is Kramerbooks, near DuPont Circle, in Washington. They have one table where I want to read every single book displayed. (I’ll have to get my own book on that table one of these months…)
