my friend sent me this great link of interesting bookstores of the world.i've only been to one of these bookstores (shakespeare and co. see photo above) but maybe i should start a checklist and go see them all!
take a look:
Most Interesting Bookstores of the World
don't you love the look of so many books cramped together in interesting patterns and shapes? i love how some of the walls of these stores are curved and the stacks curve right along with them.
what's your favorite bookstore?
any cool bookshelf photos?
that is a really interesting link!! favorite bookstores: I really like Elliot Bay, and the one in Fremont - Fremont Place Books maybe? I have a post from a long time ago called "unsorted books" where I photographed my bookshelves:

The Art Nouveau bookstore in Portugal is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI guess my favorite is Elliott Bay. Also, I especially love used bookstores like Magus or Twice Sold Tales. I can spend hours in a bookstore, slowly wandering around. (even better if I have coffee)
I love the musky smell of old books in libraries as much as the smell of ink of newly-printed pages in book stores.
ReplyDeleteI did not know that there is such a glorios book store in Maastricht, Holland. I think the sight of it alone is well worth spending roughly three hours on train to get there from Amsterdam. Huh? :)
