Private Worlds |
Other then being a really cool find from overseas, where she got the book is pretty awesome too! Shakespeare and Company in Paris is an old book store built...or should I say created by George Whitman who said "I created this bookstore like a man would write a novel, building each room like a chapter, and I like people to open the door the way they open a book, a book that leads into a magic world in their imaginations." —George Whitman
The builder of the bookstore and various authors who were passing through at the time used to be able to spend the night inside the bookstore. There is a ton of history behind the store and the book and I cannot wait to explore both of them! Thanks baby sis for a perfect present. Happy Reading Everybody!
