The excerpt just left me feeling depressed. Ira and Aaron Stein are the father and son team that owns a used bookstore. Yes. In this day and age, it is rare that one exists. In Ira and Aaron's case, the bookstore is on the brink of extinction. Mired in debt, Aaron in desperation makes a hasty decision without his father's knowledge. All of the evidence suggests that he has made a deal to sell the store. What happens next? Guess we have to find out by reading the book in its entirety.
