THE BOOKSHOP BOOK
Book ID/图书代码: 07603014B74446
English Summary/英文概要: Every bookshop has a story.
We’re not talking about rooms that are just full of books.
We’re talking about bookshops in barns, disused factories, converted churches and underground car parks. Bookshops on boats, on buses, and in old run-down train stations. Fold-out bookshops, undercover bookshops, this-is-the-best-place-I’ve-ever-been-to-bookshops.
Meet Sarah and her Book Barge sailing across the sea to France; meet Sebastien, in Mongolia, who sells books to herders of the Altai mountains; meet the bookshop in Canada that’s invented the world’s first antiquarian book vending machine.
And that’s just the beginning.
From the oldest bookshop in the world, to the smallest you could imagine, The Bookshop Book examines the history of books, talks to authors about their favourite places, and looks at over two hundred weirdly wonderful bookshops across six continents (sadly, we’ve yet to build a bookshop down in the South Pole).
The Bookshop Book is a love letter to bookshops all around the world.
authors involved in the book include Brian Aldiss, David Almond, Bill Bryson, Tracy Chevalier, Cornelia Funke, Audrey Niffenegger, Ian Rankin, Jacqueline Wilson and more.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 每个书店都有一个故事。
我们现在在讨论的不仅仅是一个装满书的房间而已。
我们讨论的是谷仓里的,废弃工厂里的,改装教堂里的和地下停车场里的书店;在船上的,车上的和破败的火车站里的书店;那些隐蔽的,隐藏的书店,也是我认为到过的最棒的书店。
在书中你会遇见驾着她的书驳船漂洋过海去法国的莎拉,遇见蒙古的塞巴斯提娜,她把书卖给阿尔泰山脉的牧羊人,还会遇见加拿大第一家发明古典书籍自动贩卖机的书店。
这还只是故事的开始而已。
从世界上最古老的书店到你可以想象的最小的书店,《书店的故事》探索了书的历史,作者们最喜爱的书店,还介绍了横跨六大洲的两百多个稀奇古怪的书店。(遗憾的是,人类还没有在南极造个书店。)
《书店的故事》就是一封致全世界书店的情书。参与写作这本书的作者有布赖恩•奥尔迪斯、大卫•艾梦德、崔西•雪佛兰、比尔•布莱森、科妮莉亚•芬克、奥黛丽•尼芬格、伊恩•兰金、杰奎琳•威尔逊等。(XAT)
