The Bookshop Book
In a time when travel is not ideal, we explore the world in other ways. One easily attainable way is to pick up a book and adventure through the pages that lead you in story.

As an introvert who loves to read, and a dreamer who gets lost in the possibilities of a life surrounded by book bindings, various typefaces, and stories for everyone, I greatly enjoyed this book. As you read through each story, you really get insight into the bookselling industry from past times and into the questionable future of independent bookstores.
