I love working at the bookstore

So I've worked here at Sam Weller's for about 7.5 years. And that's nothing compared to some of our sage and wisened employees (I won't name names here, but we'll count some of them in the 30+ years mark). I feel so fortunate to be around the plethora of information and aesthetic beauty in which the world of book-selling is seeped.. As a sculptor m'self, I'm constantly inspired by my surroundings: like the beauty of a mass of stacked bound and printed matter, otherwise known as yet another temporal manifestation of our great wall of books. Count me in as a member of the cult of the object of the book, and I suppose what must be the cult of booksellers.
