Find it!
These fearless, passionate, inquiring essays by award-winning international writers celebrate one of our most essential, but endangered, institutions: the bookshop. From, Denmark to Egypt, from the USA to China, 'Browse' brings together some of the world's leading authors to investigate bookshops both in general and in particular - the myriad pleasures, puzzles and possiblities they disclose. The 15 essays reflect their authors' own inimitable style - romantic, elegant, bold, argumentative, poetic or whimsical - as they ask probing questions about the significance, the cultural and social (even political) function as well as the physical qualities of the institution, and examining our very personal relationship to it.
