Biblioasis international translation series #30

Translation of: Contra Amazon

"Picking up where Bookshops: A Reader's History left off, Against Amazon explores the impact of new technologies on bookshops and libraries. Collecting Carrion's essays on these vital cultural spaces, as well as interviews with the writers who love them, Against Amazon is equal parts a history of books and bookshops, a reader's autobiography, a travelogue, a love letter--and, urgently, a manifesto against the corrosive pressures of late capitalism."--
