Sam Draper, “The Bookman”, has the dream job for bookworms. He spends his time choosing books for people, matching their personalities with books. “I had been job - hunting for 6 months,” explains Sam. “I'm good at picking books for people and I love books. So I thought, why not give it a try?”

How can Sam choose a book for somebody else? His service is offered over the phone or through an email, so the customers needn't show their names. He is meeting strangers, so he needs to get to know the persons a bit. He studies them and finds out what books they have read—so he can avoid those—and what other books they might be interested in. In this way, people can receive books that are chosen just for them.

During holidays, he offered free books to over 70 people who were staying at home. Sam wanted to do something that might make these people spend the time in a more meaningful way. By the end of last year, he'd given out 350 books. “I got a lot back from it myself—lots of thank - you cards and letters from people who were on their own and loved the company of a book,” Sam said.
1. What does Sam do as a “bookman”?
______________________________
