Beaucoup des livres!


The  Abbey Bookshop, gives Shakespeare and Company a run for their money. Started in 1989 by Canadian Brian Spence, their website claims they have over 35,000 books in English. How they have any idea how many books are in this fabulous shop, I have no idea. Located near the Saint Severin Church, it's worth a stop.

McGuffey's in Paris?



Our first day in Paris, we covered a lot of territory. We stopped at Shakespeare and Co. on the Left Bank to poke around ( and warm up). While I was standing in line to purchase the latest issue of Paris Magazine ( that I can only find at S& Co), the rest of the group found the back staircase and were lucky enough to see the upstairs of this interesting place. Outside I spotted this old suitcase stuffed with books. I seem to have a "thing" about old luggage. Maybe that's because I've been without mine too many times in Paris lately! You might also spy a well known Paris blogger here as well. Apparently we both found our way into each other's photos that day!
