Selling books in Beirut

By Johnathon Williams on Jan 4, 2009

esquire

The Monocle Review’s 2nd Edition includes a report on a long-standing Beirut bookshop struggling to survive amidst political instability and changing tastes.

The review is a new video production from Monocle Magazine, a fantastic (and exquisitely beautiful) source for international news on business, culture, and design. Each issue is as thick as a book and includes an exclusive manga series. I read it religiously, although I suspect I fall short of its target demographic by about $75,000 per year.
