A Book Lover's Guide to Tokyo's Used Bookstores! by Nobuyuki Nakayama, published by Hon no Zasshi Sha
This book, "A Book Lover's Guide to Tokyo's Used Bookstores!", is a curated selection of 120 interesting articles and useful information chosen from 300 issues of the journal "Koshogetsuho" over the past 50 years. The journal has been continuously published by the Tokyo Antiquarian Booksellers Association (Tokyo Kosho Kumiai), which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2020.
The book is filled with a wide range of stories, from humorous to deeply moving. It includes essays by renowned writers and shop owners such as Hiroshi Uchibori (Shakujii Shorinn) and Shun Kano (Cocktail Shobo), as well as Torushi Mukai (Koshou Gensei). There is also a roundtable discussion where passionate baseball fans, including an Olympic silver medalist, enthusiastically debate their favorite teams, and an interview with a veteran shop owner from the downtown area who humorously recounts the golden age of used bookstores.
Naturally, the book is packed with insights unique to used bookstores, covering topics such as book exchanges, buying and selling, customers, sales events at book centers and department stores, catalog sales, online sales, inventory and warehouses, obituaries, travelogues, the honest thoughts of female shop owners, and discussions about old books themselves. This is a single volume that allows readers to understand the diverse world of used bookstores, with its multitude of people and blooming variety.
