A book is a live thing like your dog, says bookseller

February 3, 2006 | 12:00 AM | By Melanie Mah

An article posted on the Toronto Star website today profiles the Dog Lovers Bookshop, an online bookseller carrying new and used books on all subjects canine. Formerly a bricks-and-mortar store, the business is co-owned by New Yorkers Bern Marcowitz and Margot Rosenberg, who used the experience they gained with their store to write a book repair manual, 2002’s The Care and Feeding of Books Old and New. Ever wonder how to get pesky stickers off the covers of your books? Or how to repair a torn dust jacket? Marcowitz, who is in Toronto today to present at the Ontario Library Association Super Conference on the topic of book care, provides answers to these and other questions in the article’s sidebar.
