These are beautiful!
I always feel so at home at a bookstore. Time stops for me and I literally spend hours, perusing through books, maybe reading a few pages of one...
Being surrounded by books just feels so wonderful :)

Why would you just literally copy/paste another article? Is it so hard to provide original content? At least you gave it a reference, that's a start, I guess.
HI! Im from Buenos Aires, and I work in an office just across the street of the boockstore you posted! Come to Argentina and visit it in person! lol

If you're in London you should check Daunt Books on Marylebone High Street - truly amazing to get lost in. Also, Galignani in Paris, in front of the Tuileries.
I want my ashes placed in a container built in the shape of a book put on a shelf behind locked glass doors in any one of these havens of knowledge so I can spend eternity absorbing the wisdom of mankind.
