With old train stock on the JR Ube line in Yamaguchi revived amid a surge of new COVID-19 cases throughout the country, second-hand book stores nearest to stations remain a constant, dependable presence. Take
Bohemian's Guild in Jimbocho for example, or
Totodo in Shibuya. There is also
Flotsam Books near Daitabashi station,
SO BOOKS close to Yoyogi-Hachiman,
Honk Books in between Kanamecho and Ikebukuro and
Kongen Shobo near Ekoda on the Seibu-Ikebukuro line. After all, knowledge is power.
