As an avid reader and self-confessed bibliophile, I love reading about books, libraries, and of course bookstores. FOOTNOTES FROM THE WORLD'S GREATEST BOOKSTORES is a treasure that I will savor again and again. There is no real order to this catalog of beloved bookstores around the globe but to me, that's part of this book's charm. I can flip through pages and land on some wondrous place located thousands of miles away or perhaps closer to home. The footnotes are often charming themselves, at times laugh out loud funny, and even a little outrageous.The artwork on each page is beautiful, featuring watercolor depictions of famous and well-loved bookstores around the world. As I read, I listed some stores that I told myself I must visit someday.There is a certain sense of poignancy in reading this book, because as one reads about the independent bookstores that continue to survive, there is a sense of mourning for those that didn't make it and are long gone. I often tell myself and those that care to listen that a world without bookstores would be a terrible, lonely world bereft of all that warmth and sense of anticipation - I feel so alive when I walk into a bookstore - there's something magical about the experience. This book keeps me optimistic that brick and mortar bookstores, no matter the challenges (the irony that I am posting this on Amazon is not lost on me here), will endure, God willing. If you love books and the bookstore experience, treat yourself to this lovely gem - you won't be sorry.
This book is a treasure for anyone who loves books. The format is so unique and appealing. The illustrations are beautiful and bring a sense of nostalgia. I have purchased multiple copies and will be giving them as gifts. The perfect coffee table book.
After some tests at school, I used to trot off to the bookstore near my house in return to my efforts and persistence toward that. I was unable to buy all books I crave for. I had to struggle against my lust to read all books. It was tough agony for a little child to bear. I remember those bittersweet moments when I got close to the resister. The middle-aged man was friendly but didn’t seem to guess those issues inside of me. Because of that, I was always happy to step in the bookstore but had to step out in thirsty for left books in there. I longed to live for good in bookstores, I long to be buried in bookstores like Michael Cunningham. (Don’t take me wrong. He is alive now.) I cannot peruse all books so I had to compromise with myself. This book seems to me as the precious reservoir for me in this sense. The author Bob’s gathered a variety of tales related to bookstores across the world and provided those with his exquisite illustrations. Particularly I was enchanted by the eloquent, rarely frank confession from bookstore owners. They reveal the attractive anecdotes with celebrities and crippling publishing industry. But as always those people in reading are not mortified. I was able to feel some undefeated hope about books. I’d like to engrave Garrison Keillor’s words. “But everything is ripe for revival.†I’m with him. Because I cannot trample on my dream in my childhood easily. I cannot imagine the world without books.
This was a present for my book lover who's lived all over the States.He would've loved it on it's own but being able to visit stores from where he's been was a great treat that,made it impossible for him to put this down.He was especially enjoyed the Garrison Keillor forward.A wonderful intro from a talented storyteller.The book opens vertically & the pages open horizontally so you're looking at bookshelves like you're in a bookstore,while thumbing through the illustrated pages of bookstores. It's quite enchanting.The illustrations are wonderful.Makes you feel like you are walking down an intimate street with anticipation discover surprise treasure.Covers everything from JK Rowlings inspiration for Hogwarts in Portugal to,Bethlehem's first & continuously running bookstore from before America's independence.If you're a book lover or just nostalgic for the rare breed of small, independently owned bookstore,This is a must have & rare treat.
I ordered this for a gift and took time to look at it myself before wrapping it. Its very well made and filled with interesting information about bookstores all over the world. I may have to order one for myself! Can on time and package well to protect the book!
a charming book, filled with mini tales of the people who visited these spots, why they loved them, and occasional moments of humor or pathos...the only complaint about this volume is the construction of the cover...it does not open as a normal cover would, and it makes the book hard to read in bed!
Got the new book today - OMG it is gorgeous – I absolutely LOVE it. The drawings are incredibly sophisticated.I am so excited to show everyone this book. Congrats! Hope you sell millions of copies!
I love book stores and I happily live in OR so there are many to choose from. Giving this book as a gift to a friend who travels a lot. Think it might be an inspiration provider for where to travel next.
