Fakta
This ultimate travel guide for bibliophiles explores the most literary towns across the globe—full of charming bookshops, fairs, festivals, and more.
The so-called “Book Towns” of the world are dedicated havens of literature, and the ultimate dream of book lovers everywhere. Book Towns takes readers on a richly illustrated tour of the forty semi-officially recognized literary towns around the world and outlines the history and development of each community, and offers practical travel advice.
Many Book Towns have emerged in areas of marked attraction, such as Ureña in Spain or Fjaerland in Norway, where bookshops have been set up in buildings including former ferry waiting rooms and banks. While the UK has the best-known examples at Hay, Wigtown and Sedbergh, author and dedicated book collected Alex Johnson visits such far-flung locations as Jimbochu in Japan, College Street in Calcutta, and major unofficial “book cities” such as Buenos Aires.
