Review
PRAISE FOR BOOKSHOPS
“Carrión explores the fine lines between pilgrimage destination, touristy gimmick, and decent bookshop. This is the perfect book for those who feel compelled to visit every bookstore they see.”―Publishers Weekly Starred Review
“A literate mappa mundi to bookstores ... no mere travel guide but rather a philosophical, reflective, wide-ranging inquiry into the world of books ... An insightful, educational, and erudite paean to bookshops.”―Kirkus
“...a combination love letter, historical document, and analysis...”―Quill & Quire
“Bookshops is the best kind of biblio-mystery, in which a cultivated and civilized detective guides us through the labyrinth of the world's stores, stopping to talk for a while, before plunging off on the next fascinating diversion. Jorge Carrión brings page-turning excitement to the extended essay form.”―Iain Sinclair
