Exploring the intersection of thought and commerce, Jean-Luc Nancy reflects on how writing, publishing, and selling books facilitate unique communication. Drawing inspiration from his local bookstore and likening it to various specialty shops, he delves into the sensory experience of books, likening them to "scents and flavors." This work invites readers to consider the deeper connections between literature and its tangible presence in the world.
