Per usual I am about 3 steps, or in this case 3 posts, behind. Here are a few shots from the Shakespeare and Company bookstore. I was told by co-workers this winter that I would be eternally shunned if I didn't visit while I was in Paris, so I made a stop in and was not disappointed. It is lined floor to ceiling in books and everyone speaks English hallelujah! The book store opened in 1951 in the famous Latin Quarter near the Sorbonne, so it's just a 10 minute walk from my classes. The most beautiful part of the shop is the upstairs reading room. There's a spot where you can sit and see Notre Dame and the Seine river out the window.. bliss.
