Interview with a Bookseller

from Kat Ex Machina Podcast · host Kat Spada

This week I’m launching one of the features I was most excited about including in my newsletter: interviews with the people behind the counters at the bookstores I’ve always loved spending time in. For the first conversation in the series, I spoke with Rachel Manija Brown, who owns Paper & Clay Bookshop in Crestline, California.Our conversation went to unexpected places, and is a must-read for anyone who’s ever harbored the daydream of running a bookstore. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit katexmachina.substack.com/subscribe
