The biggest and best-illustrated survey of the bookstores of the world Truly global coverage extending to the Near East, Asia, Africa, and South America Photographs that will stir the wanderlust of every book lover A substantive text from expert authors “Erudite and eye-catching, Bookstores of the World is a treat for armchair travelers and an inspirational list of destinations for any book lover.” — Shelf Awareness A magnificently illustrated global tour of contemporary bookstores, from Paris to Seoul. Even in these days of online commerce, the physical bookstore retains its fascination as a place to gather and discover new art and ideas, often serendipitously; in fact, the bookstore is a refuge from the often unreflective world outside. 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. Illustrated with superb photographs of storefront and interiors, packed shelves and carefully curated displays, Bookstores of the World will inspire every bibliophile to chart new itineraries. Jean-Yves Mollier is a noted scholar of contemporary history who teaches at Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines University. He has published numerous works on the history of bookselling and publishing. Patricia Sorel, who teaches at the University of Paris Nanterre, is also an authority on bookselling and publishing.

This beautifully illustrated book captures the history, the legends and the unique style of the most famous train on earth: The Orient Express With never-before-seen archival material With a preface by Sir Kenneth Branagh “The Orient Express represents, to me, the golden age of travel. The tableware, the glassware, all this beautiful woodwork, the “smell” of everything… It is a total and unique ‘experience’.” – Sir Kenneth Branagh, from the Preface. The first train to connect Paris to Constantinople – the gateway to the Orient and epitome of all its associated desires and fantasies – the Orient Express was an immediate success. Quickly nicknamed ‘the king of trains, the train of kings’, it had already become a legend in its own time. This unique train and its celebrated passengers (both real and fictional) have become one of the great cultural icons of our times and have helped to create a limitless source of stories and fantasies to feed our imaginations. It’s a story told here through fabulous new photographs of the restoration workshops where the historic train carriages are being brought back to life, through archive photos of famous and exotic destinations, and portraits of the most famous passengers who were lucky enough to climb aboard.

Travelling the world in search of wildflowers in bloom Discover the most spectacular wildflower spots on earth, from alpine meadows to desert super blooms With colourful photographs of wildflowers in their natural habitats Abounding with background information and travel recommendations Open your eyes to the seasonal changes all around you and it will bring a whole new dimension to the way you travel To walk through a woodland carpeted with bluebells or along a mountain path dotted with orchids gives you a sense of connection with nature that once experienced you’ll want to seek out again. The Wildflower Travel Book takes you on a journey around 50 of the world’s most colourful flower destinations. This book is a guide to when and where to go in the world to see the most spectacular blooms: from The Alps to The Himalayas, across the deserts of Chile and South Africa and along the coastal cliffs of the Mediterranean. The spots show the carefree and unpredictable nature of wildflowers, existing in the landscape largely without human intervention, which keeps them ever so slightly out of reach. But The Wildflower Travel Book, a richly illustrated visual treat, reveals some of their secrets to nature-loving readers. Caroline Kamp is a writer and gardener based in the UK. A childhood spent in Southeast Asia inspired a love of nature, travel and the outdoors. As a design and interiors journalist for newspapers and magazines, she found her gaze drifting out of the window and at the green space beyond.
