Welcome to the home of the Thin Green Line!

A few notes of warning:

I worked at the world's largest book retailer for five years in the late 1990's to early 2000's and the book is based largely on my experiences there.  

It is my hope that the book will be enjoyed by those who influenced it and perhaps some lessons learned by the customers and others who find themselves in bookstores and any retail establishment.  Maybe people will finally begin to understand retail workers are more than just mindless cashiers or shelfstockers.  They're people, actual and whole.  More than you know.   

The Thin Green Line is full of stories: some funny, some sad, some just incredible.  I hope you enjoy it.  

Thank you,

Q & A 

Q: I read this whole book.  Are you insane?

A:  Ha!  No.  What you should remember is that for most people this was a time when they were in college.  Everyone does crazy stuff in college, right?  Well, these were my "college" years.  

Q: Are these all really people you know or knew?

A: More or less.  Some are amalgamations, all the names have been changed but they're all based on real people.
