Description:
Five authors who love bookstores share five stories depicting bookstores. Picture books read to you as a child, the first novel you bought yourself, magazines you couldn't wait for to be released, a book that changed your life... People grow by nourishing their souls with encounters with books . On the front lines of delivering such books are the neighborhood bookstores, who face the many challenges of life, open their shops, and welcome customers every day.
