How are you supposed to know if you’ll like a book if you can’t read some of it.

It had a nice little cafe too, its not like they won’t make money on people buying a few coffees and snacks as they read a book they might not buy.

    Hilariously before you named the store I was thinking back of my experience in exactly a Tsutaya in Tokyo.

    Found some cool origami books that I had to take a chance on buying them, since I couldn’t look through them as they were also wrapped in plastic.

    Extra fun tidbit, I bought them tax-free, which is super straightforward in Japan, and then they told me I should not remove the plastic wrap and “use” the books, since that would invalidate their tax-free status and I’d have to repay tax…
