In the commercial premises of La Plume d’or, it is difficult to find the shelves and Books which represented the world of Daniel Landry for 23 years. “I have some painting and lighting work to do between now and the opening scheduled for January 20,” explains Florent Persiani, the new manager. And then, I’m waiting for the future wooden shelves which are custom-made. »
Passionate about manga
Between excitement and worry, it’s quite a challenge that Florent Persiani, 42 years old and originally from Plouguenast, set out to achieve. A sort of dream and achievement for someone who worked for nearly sixteen years at Japanim in Saint-Brieuc. However, nothing predestined him to become a bookseller, he, the holder of a bac + 5 in biology but also passionate about manga. It was this passion that led him to work at Japanim in Saint-Brieuc, first as an employee then as a manager. “A great experience,” he confides.
And then, as he got older, he wanted a new ambition. And the sale of La Plume d’or by Daniel Landry finally convinced him to take the plunge. “I knew he was looking for a buyer,” he says. So we met in May and June and we came to an agreement. »
Stationery, reprography and bookstore as before
Faithful to a heritage of nearly 40 years, Florent Persiani will retain not only the original name, La Plume d’or, but also the services that Daniel Landry, his predecessor, offered. “There will always be stationery sections and a copy corner to maintain this service for the population in the city center,” he explains. And then of course, there will be literature, comics and obviously manga, to which I will add a Fine Arts section. »
