Bookstore cats are an international phenomenon, festooning book lovers' havens worldwide. This is a collection as entertaining and as adorable as the cats themselves.

Most bookstore cats are famous in their local communities; many have been featured and profiled by entertainment outlets, and some even have their own books and social media accounts. Now, for the first time, some of the world's most beloved bookstore cats are collected together in one adorable directory, making the perfect gift for cat lovers, book lovers, shoppers and the generally curious worldwide.

Through 50 colour photos, Brandon Schultz documents dozens of cats with personalities and histories as varied as the books they tend. These literary felines are found all over the USA, from major cities like Chicago and Philadelphia, to smaller towns such as Abbotsford, British Columbia and Portland, Indiana. Aside from keeping a bookseller free of mice, these noble creatures become part of the fabric of their environment and, while they chase away the vermin, they lure in the world's cat-loving readers.
