Description

Every bookshop has a story to tell. From humble beginnings in converted churches and underground car parks, to grand establishments in historic buildings, these unique spaces showcase the diversity of human creativity. This book takes you on a journey to over three hundred bookshops across six continents, each with its own fascinating history and charm. You'll discover the world's oldest bookshop, as well as some of the most unusual, such as those found on boats, buses, and even in old train stations. The Bookshop Book is a love letter to these special places, where books are not just sold from shelves, but also serve as a connection to the wider world. With contributions from numerous authors and experts, this book offers a unique perspective on the power of bookshops to bring people together and make a difference.
