A Spectator and Evening Standard Book of the Year 2020, David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas is a delightful read. With each chapter becoming a favorite, the book showcases the author's exceptional talent. Lucy Mangan, in her review, praises the book's timelessness and the enchanting atmosphere of the right bookshop. This captivating story explores our profound love affair with books, encompassing everything from their arrangement on shelves to the delightful scent they emit, the scribbled notes in their margins, and the cozy moments spent cuddling up with them in bed. Author Martin Latham takes readers on a journey through various aspects of book culture, from comfort reads to street book stalls, mythical libraries, itinerant pedlars, radical pamphleteers, extraordinary bookshop customers, and passionate collectors. Part cultural history, part literary love letter, and part reluctant memoir, the book weaves together the stories of one bookseller and countless books. For those who relish the joy of browsing bookshops, this treasure trove of a book offers the same delightful experience.
