Smaragda, founder of a bookstore Poli Cool, shares the unexpected, chaotic, and heart-warming story of how it went from a personal project to a full online bookshop.

What started with a few book promotions, a first book’s royalties, and absolutely no idea how to run a bookstore quickly grew into a catalogue of over 500 titles for children and adults.
