Abstract
This project represents an overview of my thirty years experience as a bookseller and Founding Manager of The Book Cove in Pawling, New York. Eventually I plan to integrate the sections on authors, customers, etc. into a memoir that flows without designated chapters. However, for the purpose of this thesis project, all of Gaul is divided into its parts. The Prologue and chapter "A Bookseller's Beginnings," have been strongly edited. The succeeding chapters are partially written with cursory editing only.
