在这个美丽的摄影之旅中探索独立书店的魔力。

书店是知识和思想的宝库，对于想象力来说是无价的，并且经常以互联网巨头永远无法复制的方式反映其所有者的个性。在这本书中，摄影师 Horst A. Friedrichs 打开了通往实体书店世界的大门，用奢华的摄影展示了它们的多样性、古怪和活力。它通过采访和轶事来庆祝业主的热情和承诺。探索旧金山的建筑和艺术书籍专卖店 William Stout Books 和宾夕法尼亚州的 Baldwin's Book Barn，这是一家 5 层楼的书店，位于自 1940 年代中期开业的奶牛谷仓内。探索英国第一家也是唯一一家专门的 LGBTQI 书店 Gay's the Word 和 Livraria Lello，其装饰艺术风格的内饰是葡萄牙波尔图市中心的阅读圣殿。一些特色书店专门经营某种类型，有些是巨大的拱形天花板，有些很小，里面装满了书，有些位于唤起不同时间和地点的历史建筑中，还有一些是全新的、高科技的、建筑师设计的空间。所有书店的共同点是它们都致力于将书面文字传播到他们的社区。对于喜欢阅读、浏览或只是在书籍和书店的模拟世界中徘徊的人来说，这是一本理想的书。

Explore the magic of independent bookstores in this beautiful photographic journey across the world.

Bookstores are treasure troves of knowledge and ideas, invaluable for the imagination, and often reflect their owners’ personalities in ways internet behemoths could never recreate. In this book, photographer Horst A. Friedrichs opens the door to the world of bricks-and-mortar bookstores, showcasing their variety, quirkiness, and vitality with lavish photography. It celebrates the passion and commitment of the owners with interviews and anecdotes. Explore William Stout Books, a specialty store for architecture and art books in San Francisco, and Baldwin’s Book Barn in Pennsylvania, a 5-story bookstore housed in a dairy barn open since the mid-1940s. Discover Gay’s the Word, the UK’s first and only dedicated LGBTQI bookshop and Livraria Lello, whose art deco interior is a temple to reading in the middle of Porto, Portugal. Some of the featured bookstores specialize in a certain genre, some are massive with vaulted ceilings, some are tiny and filled to the brim with books, some are in historic buildings that evoke a different time and place, and some are brand new, hightech, architect-designed spaces. What all the bookstores have in common is that they are all dedicated to spreading the written word to their communities. This is an ideal book for anyone who loves to read, browse, or simply linger in the analog world of books and bookstores.
