A wonderfully dynamic portrait of an American cultural heroine. Now 100 years-old, Frances Steloff founded the renowned Gotham Book Mart of New York City, a center for avant-garde literature and literati since 1920. She began with only $100 and thirty books and she modestly recalls her role in the bookstore's past. From the day the book mart opened, writers like Henry Miller, Anais Nin, Dylan Thomas, William Carlos Williams, and Marianne Moore were drawn to its special atmosphere.
