The Bookshop de Andrew Pettegree

The Bookshop

Autor Andrew Pettegree
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 oct 2026
Bookshops are a comforting sight on our high streets, warm and welcoming spaces in which to browse, meet friends and occasionally buy books. They may feel timeless, yet their history is a restless and turbulent one, filled with as many entrepreneurial street hawkers and illicit trades as with beloved institutions.The Bookshop, from the celebrated author of The Library and The Book at War, explores the evolution of bookselling from the cramped collectors' shops frequented by Samuel Pepys to the radical feminist bookshops of the 70s, the rise of monolithic chains and the new world of online selling. Connecting stories and lives that span centuries, countries and continents, The Bookshop brings us into beloved bookshops of today and looks forward to the possible experience of booksellers of tomorrow.

Recenzii

Stylish, authoritative and full of telling anecdotes. Andrew Pettegree is the ideal guide through half a millennium of selling books
An absorbing and thorough history of the book trade whose shaky livelihoods have, for nearly 600 years, been at the mercy of the fickle vagaries of changing winds ... Scholarly and engaging
At last, a history of the bookshop which paints the big picture. Every chapter of Pettegree's kaleidoscopic account has enough stories, characters and statistics to satisfy even the most curious bibliomaniac.
PRAISE FOR THE LIBRARY:'Outstanding ... fetchingly produced and scrupulously researched - a perfect gift for bibliophiles everywhere
In this superb history, the authors tell the rich and varied history of libraries, from those that aspire to collect the sum of human knowledge to modest but valued personal collections
PRAISE FOR THE BOOK AT WAR:'Rich, authoritative, and highly readable ... [a] tour de force'
