Maybe you’ve noticed - Skylight Books is a bookstore with a tree. Occasionally the leaves from the tree fall onto the bookshelves below. More frequently, it seems, the heavy shelves (which are on wheels) are moved away and tucked between other shelves and then chairs are brought in, and a microphone stand, and sometimes a folding table with snacks. Then people gather under the tree, which grows under a skylight, and listen to someone tell them a story.
That’s part of what makes Skylight Books an important place. There are a lot of other reasons but the Naked Bookseller must move on. Here are links to the other pieces from the series:
“Booksellers unite and takeover.”
“The Naked Bookseller: Skylight Books’ Steve Salardino Bares All”
“Kobot” by Skylight Books’ Jenn Witte, featuring store cat Franny.
“Jeanette Winterson was the Beatles and I was the girl who fainted at the shake of a mop top.”
“Bookstore Rock: Just how many people can you pack in between bookshelves?”
If you work at a great bookstore, or are friends with one, tell us your story here. Thanks to Skylight Books and all of our book store partners

That is a pretty sweet looking library. A tree in the middle would make me actually want to stay and read under it,...
