Recs if you like Once Upon a Tome: The Misadventures of a Rare Bookseller...

Nonfiction about the history, development, and impact of books, literature, storytelling, knowledge, reading, archives, information, and related subjects. Always open to suggestions!

Bibliophilia at its best - books about books, readers, libraries, bookstores!

Books about people (particularly women) with a unique job situation. The definition of "unique job situation" is basically vibes. It could be fantastical or surreal, or just a normal job in an unusual situation. Or maybe a job so mundane and specific that the focus on it feels weird. Also books about real people with unique and interesting jobs. (Also I have not read all of these so I'm just going off descriptions for some of them.)

nonfiction works on bookstores, shops, and sellers

Books about Librarians and Booksellers, real and fictional.

Memoirs focused on moments in the authors’ careers from UK (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) authors. A variety of careers- vetrenarians, midwife, nurse, bookseller, and biologist. Suggestions welcome! Focus on slice of life, rather light hearted books. But I’d love some more diversity in this list especially.
