‘It was only when I decided it was time to relinquish ownership of my 'baby' and my passionate love affair with The Little Bookroom that customers and friends told me they considered the shop to be an institution. Finally it dawned on me that what I had created was important and of value to others. How was it to be sold and to whom? After all,The Little Bookroom had the stamp of my personal style on it, and it would be daunting for someone else to take it over. Fortunately, three female members of my staff came to the rescue and bought the name and the business. Since I had trained them, they knew what the expectations were and it would enable them to give The Little Bookroom a younger, fresher approach.’(Introduction 217)
