Geography and Access to Literature
I find it strange that a small obscure book publisher which released a book that I would like to read actually once had a postal address that was exceedingly close to my house in london. They were at E8 2NS, i was at E8 2EB.
Considering that our common interest area is about geography, spaces and place, i wonder why this coincidence is so. I never made anything geography related in London, nor did i actually meet anyone who was involved in London's Psychogeographical Association.
However, I did randomly buy a number of of geography/psychogeography related books on my way home. i think this points to how important it is to have a library and bookstore in your area. If we did not spend our time playing with phones and devices we might pass a bookstore, pick up something meaningful, and read it on the bus ride home. And some years down the line, it might completely change your life or change what you are doing.
