About
Mark Forsyth – author of the Sunday Times Number One bestseller The Etymologicon – explores in this essay specially commissioned for Independent Booksellers Week, why Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy would never have met online, the pleasure of leafing through a dictionary, and why only a bookshop can give you what you never knew you were looking for.

Originally available exclusively in independent bookshops for Independent Booksellers Week (28th June - 5th July 2014).
