anniefwrites's review against another edition
informative
slow-paced
I don’t know what it was about the writing style in this book (or perhaps the translation), but I just did not find this book accessible. The sentence structure, vocabulary, references, and movement from topic to topic were confusing for me, and a lot went over my head. I did glean some really interesting information about bookshops, and it definitely made me think of bookshops in a different way, but I felt like I was reading a book meant for someone much more worldly and “literary” than me.
