This splendid tribute to the bookstores of the world begins in France--which has the most bookstores per capita of any country--and continues throughout Europe, the Americas, the Near East, Asia, and Africa. Along the way we encounter legendary emporia such as City Lights in San Francisco and Foyle's in London, as well as new innovators such as the architecturally breathtaking Zhongshuge in Hangzhou. The insightful text explores the factors that have shaped bookselling in each region, from the price-fixing laws of France and Germany to the cultural and geographic diversity of the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Illustrated with superb photographs of storefronts and interiors, packed shelves and carefully curated displays, \u003cem\u003eBookstores of the World\u003c\/em\u003e will inspire every bibliophile to chart new itineraries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 12.6 x 9.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 07, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53336809341293,"sku":"9780789215161","price":96.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/0823\/9213\/files\/hFj0BYLUdh9780789215161.webp?v=1778918717","url":"https:\/\/cleanfreaklab.myshopify.com\/products\/bookstores-of-the-world-the-ultimate-around-the-world-tour-for-bibliophiles-and-bookshop-lovers-deluxe-oversize-edition-hardcover","provider":"Clean Freak Lab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
