Description
Why do bookshops matter? How do they filter our ideas and literature? In this highly entertaining extended essay, Jorge Carrion takes his reader on a journey around the world via its bookshops. Bookshops is the travelogue of a lucid and curious observer, filled with anecdotes and stories from the universe of writing, publishing and selling books. A bookshop in Carrion's eyes is never just a place for material transaction; it is a meeting place for people and their ideas, a setting for world changing encounters, a space that can transform lives.
