Hi Geri, loved the post, just feel is missing one bookstore which is also one of the best and amazing in the world. It's in Oporto, Portugal and it's called Lello. As I'm portuguese, I had to show Lello. 🙂

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.

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.
If I don’t show up for work for the next three days, come looking for me. I’ll be lost in a book somewhere is……………………..
