Jackie K Cooper’s fourth
collection of short stories, THE BOOKBINDER, has been
published by Mercer University Press.
It has been said that no man is an island. We are all
bound together by shared beliefs and shared experiences.
As we go through life we find that we are not as unique
as we once thought. We have much in common with the
person who lives down the street, as well as the ones
who live across the globe.
Lives are not lived in vacuums but rather in
interactive communities. This world of
"binding" is what gives life its richness.
The stories in THE BOOKBINDER will reach inside the
reader’s heart and soul to strike a common chord. In
lucid, memorable prose, Cooper offers remembrances,
reflections, and experiences that can be shared by
readers of all ages.
There is a wise man in Georgia by the name of Jackie
K Cooper. His wisdom stems from his fervent humanity
which is emblazoned across every page of THE BOOKBINDER.
Set forth in these pages are the simple things that make
us human and bind us together as we weep or as we laugh,
as we regret or as we rejoice. Jackie K Cooper is indeed
the bookbinder, and he has learned his trade well.

A truly moving look at life in the South. Cooper’s
stories are filled with poignancy, wit, and spot-on
observations, and the writing is as easy and comfortable
as a spring day in the Carolinas. THE BOOKBINDER stands
shoulder to shoulder with best writing from the South,
echoing the work of Walker Percy and Shelby Foote.
Jeffrey Deaver
Author of THE COLD MOON and
THE VANISHED MAN
Reading THE BOOKBINDER is like taking a long walk
with Jackie K Cooper as he helps us notice the grace and
beauty in everyday life. Jackie weaves meaningful
stories from the threads of the most simple moments of
daily living.
