A FACTOTUM IN THE BOOK TRADE reviewed in the NEW YORK TIMES

A Factotum in the Book Trade by Marius Kociejowski (April 26, 2022) has been reviewed by Dwight Garner in the New York Times! The review was published online on July 18, 2022.

Garner writes:

A Factotum in the Book Trade is memorable because a) it’s well-written, and b) it’s close in touch with the books. […] He’s right about what a good bookstore should feel like. ‘I want dirt; I want chaos; I want, above all, mystery,’ he writes. ‘I want to be able to step into a place and have the sense that there I’ll find a book, as yet unknown to me, which to some degree will change my life.’ […] It’s an account of a life well, happily and grouchily lived.”
