tachiyomi (立ち読み): (lit. standing reading) – the act of standing at a bookstore and reading through books or magazines before/without purchasing them.

i started this project to avoid the emphasis on appearances that dominates the literary industry, and shift the focus to the content while making access as easy as possible. if you feel like the things you’ve read were worth something you can afford, please consider donating below. it will help me keep up this project a little while longer. thank you!
