You learn from people who have learned how to run a shop."

He has also written three of his own books, manuals about cooking and about food and about eating together. In this love letter to his day job, Miller writes for the first time about his other love: shopkeeping.  Miller crafts stories from the bookshop floor with wry humor and skillful storytelling.
