Depuis une dizaine d’années, les achats d’ouvrages de seconde main progressent de manière significative en France. Cette évolution résulte des changements d’habitudes des lecteurs-consommateurs, de plus en plus sensibles à l’économie circulaire, mais surtout de l’essor des plateformes numériques qui facilitent l’achat et la revente des livres d’occasion. L’ouvrage de Vincent Chabault, fruit d’une enquête de longue durée, explore ce marché et les multiples dynamiques qui le traversent aujourd’hui. Des bouquinistes aux plateformes, des puces de Saint-Ouen aux librairies de Paris et de Lyon en passant par les acteurs de l’économie sociale et solidaire et les transactions sur Lebon coin, il montre à quel point le processus de plateformisation bouscule les règles de l’échange et le savoir-faire des professionnels, de la constitution de l’assortiment aux opérations de formation des prix de revente. Au-delà du seul cas du livre, cet ouvrage permet en outre d’appréhender de nouveaux rapports de force apparus sur les places de marché virtuelles et, plus largement, un mouvement de fond qui déstabilise l’ensemble des marchés de consommation et leur appareil commercial traditionnel (4e de couverture)

This Element surveys the place of the bookstore in the creative imagination (the fantasies of the bookstore) through a study of novels in which bookstores play a prominent role in the setting or plot. Nearly 500 'bookstore novels' published since the first in 1917 have been identified. The study borrows the concept of 'meaningful locations' from the field of human geography to assess fictional bookstores as narrative events rather than static backgrounds. As a meaningful location, the bookstore creates the potential for events that can occur both within the place of the store and in the wider space within which it functions. Elements of the narrative space include its spatio-temporal location, its locale or composition, and the events which these elements generate to define the bookstore's sense of place.

From a devoted reader and lifelong bookseller, an eloquent and charming reflection on the singular importance of bookstoresDo we need bookstores in the twenty-first century? If so, what makes a good one? In this beautifully written book, Jeff Deutsch—the director of Chicago’s Seminary Co-op Bookstores, one of the finest bookstores in the world—pays loving tribute to one of our most important and endangered civic institutions. He considers how qualities like space, time, abundance, and community find expression in a good bookstore. Along the way, he also predicts—perhaps audaciously—a future in which the bookstore not only endures, but realizes its highest aspirations.In exploring why good bookstores matter, Deutsch draws on his lifelong experience as a bookseller, but also his upbringing as an Orthodox Jew. This spiritual and cultural heritage instilled in him a reverence for reading, not as a means to a living, but as an essential part of a meaningful life. Central among Deutsch’s arguments for the necessity of bookstores is the incalculable value of browsing—since, when we are deep in the act of looking at the shelves, we move through space as though we are inside the mind itself, immersed in self-reflection.In the age of one-click shopping, this is no ordinary defense of bookstores, but rather an urgent account of why they are essential places of discovery, refuge, and fulfillment—and how they enrich the communities that are lucky enough to have them.

Dans ce volume, les auteurs présentent le résultat de leurs recherches sur la célèbre Collection spéciale du duc Engelbert-Auguste d'Arenberg (1824-1875). Cette bibliothèque de premier plan se trouvait à Bruxelles, tout près du Palais d'Egmont où la famille d'Arenberg possédait déjà une importante bibliothèque d'étude et de lecture. La Collection spéciale était constituée en majeure partie d'imprimés des anciens Pays-Bas datant des XVe et XVIe siècles. Elle visait à illustrer l'histoire des Pays-Bas et l'ancienne littérature flamande et doit donc être comprise comme témoignage de la patrimonialisation du livre au XIXe siècle. Il s'agissait d'une collection de tout premier ordre, avec bon nombre d'incunables et post-incunables fort rares et même uniques. Les auteurs situent la Collection spéciale dans le contexte des orientations de la bibliophilie belge au XIXe siècle. Ils la reconstituent et en analysent le contenu. Ils décrivent également la façon dont elle fut assemblée, puis dispersée. Si la Collection spéciale d'Arenberg parvint à ce degré de perfection, c'est entre autres grâce à l'acquisition de nombreux volumes rarissimes et même uniques ayant fait partie de la bibliothèque du bibliophile gantois Constant Philippe Serrure (1805-1872). Malheureusement, la Collection spéciale n'eut pas la vie longue. Au cours des années 1950, elle fut graduellement vendue. Aujourd'hui, des volumes ayant fait partie de la Collection spéciale se trouvent dans d'importantes bibliothèques européennes et américaines, de Bruxelles à Washington. C'est ce qui fait le prix du catalogue raisonné de la collection, riche de 1418 numéros qui sont ici décrits dans le détail
