James Mustich
1000 Books to Read Before You Die James Mustich began his career in bookselling at an independent book store in Briarcliff Manor, New York, in the early 1980s. In 1986, he co-founded the acclaimed book catalog, A Common Reader & was for two decades its guiding force. He subsequently worked as an editorial & product development executive in the publishing industry. James says, “1,000 Books to Read Before You Die is my own treasury of essential reading. It is neither comprehensive nor authoritative, but rather an invitation to a merry argument about the books left out as well as those included — because the question of what to read next has no definitive answer.”
