Critics Review

‘A unique and inspirational book about books and bookselling. A deeply personal and passionate biography about the joys of bookselling, life in Japan and finding a place in this modern world. Fascinating insight into some aspects of Japanese culture. The authors story resonated with me on many levels. It’s very beautiful, very honest, and very good. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Please give this book a read. If you like books you will love this one.’
