The oldest bookshop in tthe UK, on London's Piccadilly since 1797.

Can’t beat the romance of Paris and books ... love a browse!

Looks familiar?

Yes, this is the location of famous (one of my all-time favorites) movie.

Can you tell me what it is?

 

Here's another hint...

 

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me

The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall

You say it best when you say nothing at all

 

... now that's already a giveaway! :D

Early morning, not even turned the bookshop lights on yet, gently waking the pages from their slumbers before opening up and holding Storytime

My kind of bookshop. Organized chaos.

This is my grandson--he was given the opportunity to choose any book he wanted at our local small bookstore--Wild Geese Bookshop, Franklin, IN. He is a huge fan of stories, and of Star Wars, so his choice of a Pokemon guidebook was a surprise to me. Have to admit I know zero about Pokemon Go, but it was fun while they were visiting to watch him and his Mom chase creatures through several of our local parks.

Camilla's Bookshop in Eastbourne has three floors of second-hand books and utilises every inch of space to accommodate at least one million volumes.

Inaugurated in 1847, the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert are among the oldest in Europe. They are comprised of three shopping arcades: the Queen’s Gallery, the King’s Gallery and the Princes’ Gallery.

 

The Galeries Royales, in the heart of Brussels, around the corner from the Grand-Place, are home to many shops and entertainment venues. There are jewellery shops, luxury boutiques, pastry and biscuit shops, Belgian chocolate shops, traditional shops, cafés and restaurants of all kinds… For culture, it also features the bookshop Tropismes, the Cinéma d’art et essai Galeries, and the Théâtre Royal des Galeries and the Vaudeville. Upstairs, coworking areas, hotel rooms and flats overlook the galleries.

Earlier this year, I walked into the Brazen Head bookshop looking for a book which has been out of print since the 1960s, The Art of Coarse Sailing. The shop was stuffed with shelves sagging under the weight of words and stories, each crying out to be heard. Without knowing where to start my quest in such apparent confusion, I approached the proprietor who was looking at the screen of an old computer. I asked if he had a database of all the titles in the shop. He passed a withering look which made me feel quite the fool. No! What are you looking for? he asked. I told him my title and without disengaging his stare, said up the stairs, room on the left, third set of shelves, under nautical. Amazingly, as if guided by the force of all those titles, I went straight to it. I enjoyed the book, in fact it transported me back to my childhood on the Norfolk Broads with an amazing brightness and clarity. Some days later I felt compelled to return it for someone else to discover. I was greeted by an elderly lady in the shop. I asked after the gentleman who originally served me. She gave me a quizzical look and replied that only she worked there and that most of the books, just like mine, had a habit of returning. It was then I realised the distinction between fact and fiction can become blurred, especially in the company of such a wealth of old stories, all clamouring to be heard.

Das ist ein kleines Wortspiel. Buchheim ist einerseits ein Kölner Stadtteil, andererseits kann es auch Heim der Bücher bedeuten.

 

This is a little play on words. Buchheim is a district of Cologne, but it can also mean “home of books”.
