Planning to delete this account shortly, which is a real bummer. Whenever anyone whines about the "liberal media" remind them rich conservatives will just buy whatever pisses them off and wreck it. Find me @joshthelibromancer.bsky.social & joshthelibromancer on the grams

Got a thing I'd like to give to one of you so you can be less here and more elsewhere. DM if ya want

@MargotLivesey Thank you so much, Margot!

Utterly absorbed by The Art of Libromancy. @InOrderOfImport shines a bright light on the world of books. Visiting a bookshop will never be the same again.

"There is no such thing as a 'nonpolitical' bookstore." Preach, Josh Cook (@InOrderOfImport)! Worth a read: this @esquire interview from @adriennemwest on what booksellers can do to advance social justice in their stores. esquire.com/entertainment/…

Tune in tonight at 7 PM ET to listen to @InOrderOfImport discuss all things books with @Loyaltybooks' @OliverDepp! loyaltybookstores.com/libromancy

@BuzzPoole @PorterSqBooks @SandorfP @biblioasis @printbookstore @jchristie Thanks Buzz!

@InOrderOfImport @PorterSqBooks have been incredibly supportive of @SandorfP. So I was psyched to hear Josh discuss @biblioasis The Art of Libromancy @printbookstore with @jchristie. Yes, it’s a book about selling books, but at its core it’s about the power of community building.

Read @InOrderOfImport's "The Art of Libromancy". Fascinating anecdotes + examples about bookselling, not least an insiders account of the American Dirt fiasco & a moving account of working during the pandemic. Was less interested in some of the political stuff, but that was 1/3

Give Ep48 a listen if you're into Somerset Maugham, surreal literature, Commodore 64s, and @InOrderOfImport's new book of essays. Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/0u3dfz… Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep4…
