Hyperlexic Dreams and Bookstore Schemes by Betsy Alger

New paperback copy, signed by the author!

A collection of memories and poems, spanning 40 years of experiences with books. A lifetime filled with books, happy memories of reading, and hours spent in independent bookstores converge with the author's neurodivergencies and disabilities to help bring about unique ways of thinking and a beautiful bookstore + community space.

A blurb from Ariel Gore:

"From the healing power of classical narratives to the escapist necessity of fantasy stories -- and from the nostalgic connection of a parent reading to his child to the intrinsic activism of bookstore ownership -- Betsy Alger maps out the magic of reading in this delightfully experimental collection."
