# Places to Wander | The Corporate Artist

Canonical: https://artist.fyi/places/

Places to Wander is an editorial field guide from The Corporate Artist to independent bookstores and bookshops worth finding in person.

A field guide from Morgan Sage Norman, author of The Corporate Artist, a book about creativity at work.

Terminology: bookstores for US and Canadian cities, bookshops for the UK, Ireland, Australia and the other European cities. The proper names of shops are never changed.

## Editorial method

We look for independent shops with a point of view: exceptional selection, a meaningful specialty, a room worth experiencing, a role in its neighborhood, or the possibility of finding something you did not arrive looking for. The guides are edited, not numerically ranked. A bookstore does not have to stock The Corporate Artist to be included.
