Today involved a trip to Shakespeare and Co, as one must do when one is in Paris. I wrote a little in their Reading Room (a very little; someone else got to the convenient desk ahead of me) and bought some postcards since they don‘t allow photography.
"Three Lives and Company is a 650 square ft bookshop on a corner in New York City's West Village."

This one was also hard to choose. I liked multiple nonfiction books this month.

I just started this tonight. So far, it's part history and part unabashed love letter to bookshops. Quite charming, and how could I resist that cover?
pickThis is a love letter to rare books and the people who sell them. This is a wonderful collection of tales from the author‘s time working at a rare bookshop. The book is quite humorous and wonderful to read. It‘s a quick read. I was actually a bit sad when it ended. I‘m sure there are plenty of takes he still has to tell, and I would love to hear them.

I love the discussion of sensitive books only going to buyers or institutions that are going to keep the necessary context, that racists, nazis, homophobes, etc are going to find a book store that can‘t seem to find the book they‘re looking for, or they don‘t have any books on a topic a bookshelf they‘re keeping you far away from is dedicated to. 🤣😂🤣
