內容簡介
一封獻給全球書店的情書
每一個書店，都有一個故事。
暢銷書《書店怪問》（Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops）作者新作！
橫跨六大洲、超過三百間書店
不管是在穀倉裡、廢棄的工廠、教堂、地下停車場，或是漂浮在海上、在樹上、在公車上、在老舊的廢棄火車站裡；從世界最古老的書店，到世界最小的書店，本書不僅介紹世界各地具特色的書店、書店經營者的故事，也爬梳書本的歷史，更訪問知名作家他們最喜愛的書店，是愛書人絕對不能錯過的作品。
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.)
