Browse: The World in Bookshops by Henry Hitchings

3.0

Moving collection of global authors thinking about the bookstores that shaped them as readers--choosing Anne of Green Gables from a shelf in Nairobi, Communist book collections being liquidated by impatient grand-children in 1990s Ukraine, eating noodles to save lunch money in order to acquire a Chinese-English dictionary, volunteering in a charity shop and the personal detritus stuck between pages as bookmarks.
