I think that is an awesome career! I'm a bit jealous :) I think it's always a risk to take a job too close to something you love as a hobby; sometimes circumstances of "work" make you not want to participate in your hobby anymore!Tatyanna (and Dorian too)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07646542379329722446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910150655433987825.post-27343549063940632542010-07-16T08:44:06.553-05:002010-07-16T08:44:06.553-05:00I wouldn't want to work in a book store at all...I wouldn't want to work in a book store at all, but yeah records would be fun, although I love dj-ing even more! My partner ran a television company and got to meet a great many interesting people and celebs. I'd hear about people that one minute were unknown, and then suddenly massive stars.LL Cool Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13916666100971008775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910150655433987825.post-45541226592176822952010-07-16T05:25:07.709-05:002010-07-16T05:25:07.709-05:00@Barb-- You would be choosing wisely for sure!!

It's NOT what you think! (although perhaps the workplace situation overall is nicer in europe?)... Also, I had no idea that Ms.Susanne had made such demands! If she was J.K. Rowling, my employers would have BEGGED her to sign that many! But for most authors, even well-known ones, I can't see a company gambling on quite that many all at once... In my company, we would take back a signed book if it wasn't PERSONALIZED... but some author's signature alone, sure!Tatyanna (and Dorian too)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07646542379329722446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910150655433987825.post-33028833866569379562010-07-15T21:49:15.775-05:002010-07-15T21:49:15.775-05:00I would so love to work in a bookshop...
