Tsutaya Books Daikanyama, Japan

A cultural stronghold for adults.

In addition to architectural and spatial designs that inspire the sensibilities of mature adults, our concierges, who are well-versed in the humanities, cars, architecture, art, travel, and cuisine, respond to the intellectual curiosity of adults with their unique “power of proposal” backed by their experience.

A conglomerate of specialized categories, where Japanese, Western, and old titles are shelved together.

Magazine Street is brimming with current issues of periodicals from around the world. From here, six specialty categories branch out: Cuisine, Travel, Cars and Motorcycles, Architecture and Design, Art, and Humanities and Literature. The range and depth for these categories are unmatched. A strong selection of Western books and vintage titles will not disappoint, either.

Liber Bookshop, Sligo, Ireland

Liber is more than a bookshop. It is a local and independent bookshop in the heart of Yeats’ country.

This is a place steeped in arts. We are dripping in arts … yes, rain too, but definitely arts. There are musicians, writers, filmmakers, actors, directors and artists on every street corner here in Sligo. At Liber we cherish them by selling and promoting their works. We stock a wide range of local interest titles – from cooking with surfers and foraging for seaweed to everything you want to know about Yeats. We also sell many general titles, including music.

Liber is an independent family business run by Ailbhe and Brian Caliendo.
