Omschrijving
These inquisitive, enchanting pieces are a collective celebration of bookshops - for anyone who has ever fallen under their spell.
All these writers convey the magic of bookshops, while also making their vulnerability in recent times a recurrent theme
If you have ever lost yourself in a bookshop, felt the world fall away as you took a book off the shelves, this spell-binding collection will carry you off to shops near, far, lost and imagined
Everywhere bookshops are fast disappearing. Sixteen writers from around the world remind us why we should cherish them at all costs
Lives up to its inviting title
A lovely collection of touching and personal accounts of books and bookshops. Each author's writing style is unique and transports you across the globe
Very worthwhile but not too worthy, this is a timely call to arms
In celebrating bookshops, Browse heralds humanity, with all its glorious eccentricities
A book guaranteed to reawaken anyone's passion for all things bookish
A book for all those who love books and the shops that sell them
I advise you to pick up this book as soon as you can
Browse is compulsive reading, offering unusual insights into the role bookshops play in our lives
