A propos de cet article

First edition, first impression. SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR, IN BLACK PEN, ON TITLE PAGE 'To Kathryn, who loves bookshops more than anything. Jen Campbell'. Some minuscule edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, some very slight yellowing to page block, not price clipped (£12.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy. 273pp, illustrated. We're not talking about rooms that are just full of books. We're talking about bookshops in barns, disused factories, converted churches and underground car parks. Bookshops on boats, on buses, and in old run down train stations. Fold out bookshops, undercover bookshops. Meet Sarah and her Book Barge sailing across the sea to France, meet Sebastien in Mongolia, who sells books to herders of the Altai mountains, meet the bookshop in Canada that's invented the world's first antiquarian book vending machine. And that's just the beginning. From the oldest bookshop in the world, to the smallest you could imagine, 'The Bookshop Book' examines the history of books, talks to authors about their favourite places, and looks at over two hundred weirdly wonderful bookshops across six continents (sadly, we've yet to build a bookshop down in the South Pole). 'The Bookshop Book' is a love letter to bookshops all around the world. Scarce signed.
