"Looking at the books on display, picking one up, talking about them, wondering whether to buy one, buying one—these are normal things, but even if there's nothing special going on, just going to a bookstore and buying a book is incredibly fun, and I want to make this a place like that." (Takayuki Kobayashi, Owner of flotsam books)
