From Standing Room Only, 1:30 pm on 3 July 2016

In Austin Texas is a much-loved independent bookshop where writers, and even politicians come. Behind its popularity is former lawyer and investor turned owner of BookPeople, Steve Bercu. When so many bookshops have slimmed down or shut down, Steve's expanded his business. It now has 95 staff. Steve's addressing the Booksellers New Zealand conference in Auckland today, and talks live with Lynn Freeman.
