In this 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 huge book supermarkets. Carrión creates a picture of bookstores, examining this institution through the prism of space and time as a unique authentic place, a separate world and an important cultural phenomenon.

“Bookstores” is a travelogue of a lively and inquisitive observer, filled with stories from the universe of writing, publishing and selling books. According to Carrión, a bookstore is not so much a space for material transactions as a place for gatherings of people and ideas, for encounters that can change the world and lives.
