What is the role of a bookshop, now that we’ve gotten so used to buying books online? And what are booksellers doing to offer an alternative to the giants of the web?
Leafing through the letters of Alfabeto italiano, the page opens at the letter L - L as in Libreria, or bookshop in English, the place where, in most cases, even today, books can find their reader. A shop unlike any other, if what Romano Montroni said is true: “Books are still the best way of circulating ideas and bookshops are still the best places to sell them.”
With Elisabetta Cavani and Fabio Masi
