The I Wonder Bookstore
Yoshitake, Shinsuke, 1973-2019
Book
This charming illustrated book first published in Japan takes readers inside the magical realm of books and bookstores. In particular, the "I Wonder" Bookstore, where customers come in and ask the owner its namesake question ("I wonder if you have any books on ...") and he is happy to fill their requests in often magical ways. In illustrated self-contained spreads and sequences, we see how to grow books on trees, books designed to be read by two (or more) people at once, books that can only be read by moonlight, bookstore weddings, an underwater library, a boot camp for charismatic bookstore attendants, and many more wonders that celebrate the transporting magic of reading, books, and bookstores in a timeless and delightful way.
