Welcome to the Watchung Booksellers Podcast! In this episode, Margot Sage-EL, former owner of Watchung Booksellers, sits down with Liz Egan of the New York Times Book Review to discuss the store's history and future.

From a mail-order catalogue to the brick and mortar store she's run for 28 years, Margot and Liz recount the hurdles this indie has survived, the unpredicable nature of publishing, and the incredible talent and vibrant local community in Montclair.
