An Autobiography of Stuart Brent, who in 1946 followed his bliss and opened an independent bookstore in Chicago, which became very popular and highly regarded. Filled with stories and anecdotes of rubbing elbows with celebrities, starting a weekly TV show in which he reviewed books, along with the challenges of finding balance with raising a family. A must read for lovers and supporters of those quirky independent bookstores. - Summary by Phyllis Vincelli (7 hr 13 min)
