The Most Beautiful Bookstores in the World


This one, my favorite, is in Porto, Portugal and reminds me of the belly of a ship. No wonder I love it. Check out the others:

Wow, that looks amazing! If I ever go to Spain, I will try to find some cool bookstores.

I wish I could make the URL a link for you all. Do cut and paste the address and check out the other photos.

I-I thought I'd only dreamed of places like that! It's *sniff* so beautiful!

cool pic! I can't wait to see the others. Have you ever been in an amazing bookstore? Memorable? Powells is big, but I don't think it's amazing-looking...

I've been to the Elliott Bay Bookstore in Seattle. That's pretty big, and cool.

I wish I could remember the name, but there's a neat little bookstore (used, I believe) in Chicago with a resident cat and tons of small rooms and nooks and crannies...I'm sure there's more than one of those, actually, heh. But I thought it was cool.

I also like the two-story B&N in Naperville, but that obviously doesn't hold a candle to any of the places featured on the website.

I like the B&N in Naperville, too. I mean, it has an escalator!!!There was a bookstore in SF called Green Apple that was cozy and stuffed with books, but no amazing architecture...
