Here There Be Book Suggestions!

Bradley's Bookstore.jpg

Due to overwhelming requests, I’ve decided to make an online “bookstore” where the entire selection is Employee Recommendations!

The books below are ones that I think are excellent and influential. Many are classics, some are soon-to-be-classics, some are destined for cult status!

Happy Reading!
