Book Towns book published today in the UK
Book towns are a reader’s ultimate getaway destination. From Hay-on-Wye in Wales to Urueña in Spain, Fjaerland in Norway to
Jimbochu in Japan, around 40 semi-official book towns now exist around
the world. But until now, there has been no complete directory of their
location, history and charm. Book Towns takes readers on a richly
illustrated tour of these captivating, dedicated havens of literature,
outlining the origins and development of each community, and offering
practical travel advice. Explore bustling book markets in Kolkata and
Buenos Aires, and pop-up shops in old churches, ferry waiting rooms
and stables. A stylish and original guide, it is the perfect gift for
both book lovers and travel enthusiasts.
Already published in the USA, published today in the UK.

This is fantastic! As a bookworm and travel enthusiast, I'm adding this to my wishlist! Imagine finding rare editions while exploring these quaint towns. Speaking of immersive experiences, anyone else here addicted to Snow rider ? That game's surprisingly meditative, much like browsing dusty shelves. This book sounds like the perfect guide for planning my next literary adventure.
Great news! Sounds like a fascinating read! I'm curious if the book mentions any unexpected collaborations, like maybe even a Book Town building a library in Infinite Craft? Would love to see that! I'll be checking it out.
