People of the Book Shop, curated by Copper Mirror Press

Novels, memoirs, cookbooks and holiday reads for Jewish women and the teens in their lives. Search by title or author, or browse by genre, theme and holiday.

No one pays to be on this shelf, and Copper Mirror Press earns nothing from it. Sales made through Bookshop.org result in commissions that benefit the Association of Jewish Libraries, which promotes Jewish literacy through libraries and presents the Sydney Taylor Book Award for Jewish children's and teen books.

Descriptions are short summaries, not reviews. Covers from Open Library; “Find it” links go to Bookshop.org, which supports independent bookstores. As a Bookshop.org affiliate, the Association of Jewish Libraries earns a commission on qualifying purchases; Copper Mirror Press receives none.
