Description
Shakespeare and Company, arguably the most famous independent bookstore in the world, occupies a prime piece of real estate facing the Seine in Paris, not far from the Latin Quarter, Place Saint-Michel, and Boulevard Saint-Germain. Perhaps the most famous independent bookstore in the world, Shakespeare and Company can feel like something of a literary utopia, where money takes a backseat and generations of writers—Allen Ginsberg, Henry Miller, Anaïs Nin, William Styron, Martin Amis, Zadie Smith, Dave Eggers, among others—have found a Paris home.

Truly a magnificent work, Diana ... Your luminosity and color are so beautifully done ... love the rigid geometrical shapes of the building and the books contrasted with the softness and curves and translucence of the tree!!! WOW ... this one's awesome!!!!! l/f
