More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop
The cosy sequel to DAYS AT THE MORISAKI BOOKSHOP, the perfect gift for book lovers
In this charming and emotionally resonant sequel to the internationally bestselling Days at the Morisaki Bookshop, Satoshi Yagisawa paints a poignant portrait of life, family, and how much books and bookstores mean to the people who love them.
Set in the beloved Japanese bookshop in the Jimbocho neighbourhood of Toyko, More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop deepens the relationship between Takako, her uncle Satoru and the people in their lives. A new cast of regulars have appeared in the shop, including an old man who wears the same ragged mouse-coloured sweater and another who collects books solely for the official stamps with the author's personal seal.
As time passes, Satoru, with Takako's help, must choose whether to keep the bookshop open or shutter its doors forever. Making the decision will take uncle and niece on an emotional journey back to their family's roots and remind them again what a bookstore can mean to an individual, a neighbourhood, and a whole culture.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
