The bestseller now available as a gift edition in a bound small format with a ribbon bookmark! Out of a spontaneous idea, Petra Hartlieb, together with her husband, took on a recently closed traditional bookstore in Vienna during their vacation – and surprisingly won the bid. Overnight, she quit her job and began a new life with her family in a new city, without knowing what she was getting into. In this book, she shares her own story and that of her bookstore. A bookstore that becomes a living room for her family and a gathering place for the neighborhood. With regular customers who become friends and friends who are regular customers. Petra Hartlieb writes in a witty and humorous tone that makes every line a great pleasure and each chapter a love letter to the world of books.
