Fermé

The iron grates that cover most Paris shops after closing make it really hard to window shop!

So Many Books...

 so little time when shopping at Shakespeare and Company

La boutique de livres

Don't we all just have to stop by Shakespeare and Company just to get our "fix" every trip?

Beaucoup de livres!

I understand that Shakespeare & Co. will be closed this month for inventory. If you've ever been inside you found this laughable.  How that is accomplished with any accuracy whatsoever is beyond me.  This trip maybe a poke around in The Abbey Bookshop in the Latin Quarier, also known for its English titles, will be in order.  Looks like it's full to the brim with old books as well.  Should be fun!

Attention à la marche

Managing the stairs from the second floor at Shakespeare & Company took longer than necessary due to the photo ops along the way.  I wonder if anyone has ever tried to count the number of books there!

The Abbey Bookshop

The Abbey is yet another lovely little bookshop in Paris with its wares spilling out onto the sidewalk. (But it  looks like someone needs to have their mouth washed out with soap! Tsk, tsk.)  Since 1989, it is another Parisian source for English language books from around the world.
