This very old bookstore (though nearly a century younger than Gutenberg's revolution) is pleasant…read more It is a true bookstore, slightly eccentric, friendly to scholars and browsers with an excellent English section, both for entertainment and serious reading (try the same in German in , say, Atlanta!). It is not a 'great' bookstore--nothing on Blackwell's or Hatchards--but very decent. What their ordering record is, I have simply no idea. They are all right in French, poor in Latin and Greek, absolutely A-1 in maps and guide books (want a trekking guide to Tibet?), plethoric in cooking (much of it decidedly odd: "I wan't to cook for the 3rd World!").
But, in short, though affected by a little Euro-PC, a very decent, time-worn place to buy a book. Location, superb.
