[care] WHAT TO KNOW Amazon is OK for convenience (and if you don’t care about the slow destruction of local supply chains), but finding a good book isn’t really about convenience. Part of the joy of book shopping is browsing for hidden gems in a gallimaufry of titles, then figuring out how you’ll get the one you suddenly desperately need from the bottom of the stack. Finding the perfect bookstore is the same way — you have to do some digging. OZY’s global correspondents have done the work for you, unearthing great bookshops spread across the world, all with the same mission: to get you a stack of books you didn’t know you needed. Now it’s up to you to find the time to actually read them. [know] HOW TO THINK ABOUT IT A curmudgeon’s landmark.
