The OPTIMIST.

The article presents information about Frank Reiss, a U.S.-based bookshop owner and his bookshop. Reiss's independent book store "Reiss' A Capella Books," sells a mix of new, used and rare books. Reiss constantly takes stock of his inventory of 25,000 titles. The result is a browsing experience nonpareil: the selection is small in volume, but high in quality. He features live music, hosts signings by local authors and even started a publishing arm, Everthemore Books, to re-issue out-of-print favorites. Reiss takes nothing for granted, which has kept him in business for 17 years.
