Hands down my favourite book purchased on my trip to Japan earlier in the year. I picked this copy up from the in MARUZEN & JUNKUDO Umeda bookstore in Osaka. I stumbled upon it by chance and couldn't not leave without it, now wishing I purchased more of this authors works, especially his children's books. 

Particular highlights for me included the stories "The Moonlight Book", "How to wrap books", "Unique Book Festivals", "The Tombstone Bookcase", "Why books are rectangular" and "Book People". This also gives you a little glimpse into how imaginative the book is. 

Overall this book was funny, innovative and filled with adorable illustrations. I'm so glad I found this book that accentuates the magic and importance of bookstores.
