Bookish is a small independent bookshop in Rome. It was founded in 2015, spreading all the literature of the Middle and Far East that the bookseller can get his hands on, but it has expanded to include contemporary authors from all countries, with a careful selection by the bookseller herself, who prefers quality often independent publishing. «Bookish» in English means «person or lifestyle obsessed with books and reading»: here I am.
