Jeff Deutsch, director of Chicago's Seminary Co-op Bookstores, joins us for a conversation about his new book, In Praise of Good Bookstores (Princeton University Press). Jeff will be in conversation with Stephen Sparks, owner of Point Reyes Books.

“Deutsch’s long experience as a bookseller and a reader—that is to say, as someone on both sides of the counter—has allowed him to produce an entertaining, richly intelligent book on an institution that is essential to a literate society.”—Alberto Manguel, author of A History of Reading and The Library at Night

This is a free event, though we encourage you to purchase the book or pay what you can to support the bookstore's programming.t all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
