In his engaging essay, writer and book critic Jorge Carrión (b. 1976) takes the reader on a journey through the world's bookstores. Following the author, we visit Shakespeare & Co in Paris, Wells in Winchester, Green Apple Books in San Francisco, Librairie des Colonnes in Tangier, Strand Bookstore in New York, small shops, and even massive bookstores. Carrión creates a picture of bookstores, examining this institution through the prism of space and time as a unique, authentic place, a world apart, and an important cultural phenomenon.

"Bookstores" is a travelogue by a lively and inquisitive observer, filled with stories from the world of writing, publishing, and selling books. For Carrión, a bookstore is not so much a space for material transactions as a gathering place for people and ideas, for encounters that can change the world and lives.
