Thats awesome!!!!
There so pretty!!!

thanks so much ronna that is AWESOME!!!
that first bookstore looks like it's right in the middle of hogwarts!

the british museum has a really awesome bookstore that reminds me of some of those. and this is totally fake, but i also thought the "shop around the corner" in you've got mail was awesome. :D

Wow! That staircase in that Lello bookstore was AMAZING! If you worked there you'd probably get sick of walking up and down it after the first day though... :-)

im gonna definitely visit the one in the church, and the old antique one!!!!

wow all of them are BEAUTIFUL, and im definitely visiting them someday... especially the one in Buenos Aires(SO MANY BOOKS!), and the Lello, first of all because of the stairs, and second without the stairs i think it looks like the library in hogwarts!!

the one in Portugal looks like a castle...its so pretty
also, i agree with you Girija the one in Buenos Aires is really cool i love the art on the ceiling

They're beautiful! I love bookstores- the smell, the sight... the feel... :)

I really like the Mona Lisait one because they sell posters and prints too and the Shakespeare and Co Antiquarian Books (there's something about antique bookstores that I just love).

i think barns and noble

Just the other day,i was in the Central Markets,shopping.
(people from South Australia should know where that is) and my dad and me crossed the road, because he wanted to look in an antique shop.
So i looked around that shop alone (it was HUGE and CROWDED) and i came to the back, and there was this PERFECT TINY and OLD (LOTS OF GREENERY) courtyard, and on the other side, was an old wooden barn house. It said "please look around" so i went in, and there were books everywhere!
There were these 8 foot. shelves, all over the place, then piles that came above my head, and old display cabinets and everything of old books.

((((the above picture is not the shop i went in too)))

i thought this was pretty amazing, becasue it was the bigest and most crowded (with books) bookshop i had ever seen.
It was actually amazing!
There are no photos on the web, or id put one up-but it was awesome!!!!

that sounds pretty kewl

i wish there were places like that in the US ;)

Lucky! Lucky! I've always wanted to find a quaint bookshop (as opposed to a corporate bookstore)

yeah, the only books store in my town/area (whatever) is Borders, and it was sorta cozy and nice and such, but then they turned it around and moved some shelves, making it hard for me to find the books i want. :[ so sad

There's an amazing Borders in Providence, Rhode Island that I love to go to whenever my mom brings me to the mall there. Most of my best bookstore memories are there. :D

There are a few 'bookshops' in my town. They're pretty good too. They're a lot cheaper than most major bookstores.

lol.

I went to that book shop again today-just got back 10 minutes ago.
Its fantastic! Its got rows and rows of really old, leather bound books, a whole shelf of Agetha Christie, old book, modern (2nd hand) books, comics, magazines, a few record boxs here and there. BUt mostly books EVERY WHERE!!!!!!

omg, that sounds SO amazing, I wish I lived around there.

A whole shelf of Agatha Christie?! Cool!

it was. But the only one i was actually looking for wasent there :(

Awww...which were you looking for?

"And Then There Was One" but they didnt have it.
i was also looking for "The Hound Of The Baskervilles" but they didnt have that either, though they had plenty other Sherlock Holmes stories.

They didn't have And Then There Were None?! That's one of her most famous books! Maybe they had it under the alternate title Ten Litle Indians?

there's an alternate title?
omg i think I saw that!!!
***groans*****

But i swear they had it the week before.... probably sold.

Yeah, that was the title of the copy I got.

They might still have it. :D

oh well, i'll check next time im there.

wow, sounds like a cool bookshop! I wanna go there!!!! :D

i have Borders.
Thats like THE main bookshop in Adelaide-though there is only one-in the cities Centre.
Though ANGUS AND ROBINSON is everywhere, so thats pretty popular too. So is DYMOKS. those are the 3 most popular

In Indonesia:

Gramedia
Toko Gunung Agung
and maybe Times or Kinokuniya..

Borders or Barnes and Noble here. No variety.
(Random side note: Did you know that if part of the Barnes and Noble Booksellers sign is burnt out, it reads Barnes and No Books? It was really funny when we saw it)

We have either Barnes and Noble, or Borders here. Also, we have small chain bookstores like Annie's Book Stop, which sells used books at half-price.

We have Borders here, and if I want to go to a Barnes and Nobel or Books a Million, I have to go 100 miles away.

No Barnes and Noble here in South Australia... Not sure if they are in the country though... never seen one...

lolz. thats what the internet is for

there awesome, a lot of them have starbucks inside them:) do you guys have starbucks in Australia?

yep, quite a few STARBUCKS over here. There is one in Borders.

We have a "Seattle's Best Coffee" in ours

There is the super awesome bookstore in Minneapolis (Minnesota) called The Wild Rumpus. Its a bookstore for children's and young adult lit. And it's awesome. There is a children's door on the "big person door" and they have animals wandering around their store (cats, chickens). There are fish in the bathroom and there is this Halloween type part where it looks like a tree is growing in the store. You can walk through the tree trunk and the floor has a glass plate and there are rats underneath! It's the most awesome bookstore I've ever been in. I wish I could work there. Here is their website
