Tsundoku. The Japanese Art of Book Collecting

Tsundoku – a book about the quiet pleasure of living among stories that are still waiting for their time. This Japanese word describes the habit of collecting books "for later" and feeling remarkably free while doing so.

The authors under the pseudonym Taiki Raito Pim reflect on the nature of readers' attachment: why we are drawn to buy new books, why we keep unread volumes, and what is so comforting about them. They talk about the psychology of the colors of bookshelves, the freedom to stop reading in the middle, and those little rituals that make a book a part of our lives.

Inside: reader's diaries, various exercises, and a roadmap that explains why we keep returning to bookstores.

Tsundoku – a warm story about people who love books simply for being nearby.
