A new bookstore, Penny Lane Bookshop, just opened its doors in Nea Smyrni, Athens. Reading Greece spoke to its owner Penny Moschogianni about the role of little #bookstores and their influence on #reading preferences, as well as the challenges they are faced with and the prospects ahead.
"The role of bookstores in fostering love for reading is pivotal. In my bookshop at least, books are primarily a cultural product and secondarily a commercial one.
