Slightly related: I was recently remote-working from a peaceful book café and discovered this just-released book titled Book Towns[1] sitting sitting across me. I flipped through it and immediately bought it. Have a gander at it. From its description:
The so-called “Book Towns” of the world are dedicated havens of literature, and the ultimate dream of book lovers everywhere. Book Towns takes readers on a richly illustrated tour of the 40 semi-officially recognized literary towns around the world and outlines the history and development of each community, and offers practical travel advice.
And here's[2] an article (written by the author) about it in The Guardian.
