Every bookshop has a story

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, this-is-the-best-
place-I've-ever-been-to-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 three 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.

'A good bookshop is not just about selling books from shelves, but reaching
out into the world and making a difference' David Almond

(The Bookshop Book includes interviews and quotes from David Almond, Ian
Rankin, Tracy Chevalier, Audrey Niffenegger, Jacqueline Wilson, Jeanette
Winterson and many, many others.)
