Abstract

Most Catalan bookshops have traditionally served as a meeting point between readers and authors. Regular book launches, signings, storytelling sessions and, to a lesser extent, reading clubs are part of daily life in the world of booksellers. They perform this role in a natural manner, without any great innovations, since the model is well established and perfectly suited to the physical and human characteristics of these local cultural facilities. This report will provide an overview of the situation over the last two years.
