In today’s episode, Tania gets a puppy — and Nastya Leonova shares the story of IST Publishing, which has become one of Ukraine’s top producers of beautiful hardcover photo and culture books, despite rockets, blackouts, and paper shortages. We also talk about how, even as missiles fall, new bookshops are opening in Kyiv, the growing demand for Ukrainian-language books, and how people are clearing out their shelves of Russian ones.
