Gary Goodman has been a used and rare book dealer in Minnesota for nearly forty years. He co-founded St. Croix Antiquarian Booksellers and the Stillwater Book Center in Stillwater, Minnesota--a town that became known as the First Booktown in North America in the mid-1990s. He is the co-author of The Stillwater Booktown Times and The Secret History of Golf in Scotland. "I was sent an advanced proof of “The Last Bookseller” — due out in November — and highly recommend it, partly for Goodman’s portrait of a lost world, but also for its colorful dramatis personae. Goodman once knew a book scout — the biblio-equivalent of an antiques picker — who 'was so far off the grid he lived in the woods under a tarp.'" Michael Dirda, Washington Post "A memoir from one of the last 'hunter-gatherers' in the book business. Goodman has all the requisite irascibility for a bookseller...lots of fun anecdotes about book thieves, bibliomaniacs, and other familiars of the book business." Kirkus Reviews
