Reviews for The Door-to-Door Bookstore

[Julie Poe · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

What an amazing story! So well written. I'm so glad these kind folks have been helping books find their way to us readers.

[john eklund · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Charming, warm-hearted, intelligent, guileless fiction. If you love books for their character as much as their content, you’ll get this book and this book will get you.

[Wiremill · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I haven’t read/listened to a book in years that has touched and delighted me as much as this one. Every character in it will stay with me for a long time to come and like Karl the book-walker - I may need to read this one every quarter century!
