Got Books? Conversations with Booksellers

Mini-Episode 1: News in Books & Book Review w. Phoebe (Attached by Amir Levine and Rachel Heller)

This podcast is for those who love getting lost in and among books. On most episodes, I talk to Booksellers all around the world, in a tour of some of the world's most charming Bookshops. Sometimes I get a bit sidetracked and chat to Bookmakers - book cover designers, editors & others those who make books possible. Or I just talk about bookshops myself!
Full disclaimer: this podcast's hosts plans to one day open her own bookshop.
