de Botton trusts himself enough to write about what happens within the confines of the airport, and he lets the airport status as a hub bring the rest of the world to him. This is a book of close observation and ready imagination. The photographer, Richard Baker, should get equal credit. There is a photo on every slender page, and the pictures tell their own contemporary stories, in addition to complementing de Botton's narrative. I finished this book sometime in the fall of 2011. If I had to guess, I would say in October. I had purchased it on summer holiday at Canon Beach.
