"one of the fundamental failings of most MFA programs and other formal writing education is the lack of professional development around the logistics and labor of actual bookselling" — @joshthelibromancer.bsky.social, The Art of Libromancy

The Art of Libromancy: Selling Books and Reading Books in the Twenty-First Century, by Josh Cook.

I had some credit so I got this! I don't often read essays, but since I'm in books I figured it might be interesting!
The Art of Libromancy: Selling Books and Reading Books in the Twenty-First Century by Josh Cook. A collection of says. The cover has a flappy open book with dismembered hands reaching for it. Honestly it's a vibe.

I also find talking to experienced indie booksellers is often a GREAT way to find out what's happening in bookselling & publishing, how books are sold.

Speaking of which, I highly recommend THE ART OF LIBROMANCY by @joshthelibromancer.bsky.social

I'm actually highlighting and writing in your Libromancy book!

Tim Curry’s memoir Vagabond is a wild ride, and Josh Cook’s essay collection The Art of Libromancy is illuminating, fascinating, and full of great book recommendations.

Must read for the book world from @defector.com and something I would have cited the hell out of in Art of Libromancy if it'd been out before I wrote it. tl;dr: Publishing is always ideological, especially when we claim it's not.

A little self promotion for a Friday morning! If books & bookstores are important to you & you dig what Porter Square Books does, you might be interested in my essay collection on bookselling, The Art of Libromancy: Selling Books & Reading Books in the 21st Century. (I'll sign any PSB orders!)

Listen, I'm not saying I wrote Art of Libromancy so I'd be able to talk to amazing booksellers around from around the country but I am saying I'm fucking psyched that's happening

For real though. Can I get all my internet friends on a Discord? Maybe an r/joshsfriends or r/libromancy on Reddit? I feel like I've just started connecting to people on Instagram.
