Ann Patchett’s favourite bookshop – McLean & Eakin Booksellers, Petoskey, Michigan
“I walked into the bookstore of this dreamy little town and at that moment all the other bookstores I’d known in my life fell away… Books and bookstores are really the only things I can speak to with authority. And so I say to you absolutely: McLean & Eakin, Petoskey, Michigan — go.”
Dave Eggers’ favourite bookstore — Green Apple Books, San Francisco, California
“I’ve known [the owners] for about fifteen years now, and I have to say there are no purer book people in the world. … The crazy thing about Green Apple is that everything, even a cat calendar, seems far more interesting and wantable in their hands.”
