These beings only liked the 1st and 4th on that list.
Note:
when 'thul write in all italics, it is the lord of the three realms within 'thul speaking. A fairly egoistical, but also somewhat simple-minded dragon. Do not take such posts at face value.

I like #7 too. And the reading circles in #8 look really great too (the rest of the store less). #11 could be great but looks too cluttered. You know nothing, Jon Snow

Oh wow! I was in seventh heaven just looking at those pictures! The 1st and the 4th were spectacular, the 6th was my idea of heaven...books and a glass of wine! The nearest one to me was Alnwick, and then it's a good 4 hours away. They used Alnwick Castle in the Harry Potter films (a bit of useless info, but thought I'd share anyway  ) I'd love to work in a book store, though as they're few and far between these days, I don't hold out much hope for my dream job.

I was wondering at the one in Amsterdam. Why is it called The American Bookstore when it's in the Netherlands??

Hey, where' my reply.? It's lost, although I saw it a minute ago. So, again: I like no. 1 because of this very special atmosphere (almost from Harry Potter) and no. 14 (Bart's books in California) best. It's simply a dream sitting outside, with coffee or wine (absolutely!) and looking through masses of books. Smashing! Although I have to admit that I am a great Amazon fan. Excellent service, shortest delivery-time etc. I simply don't have the time to visit bookshops and spent a lot of time there very often, although I'd love to do it. By the way - I'm still waiting for City of Dragons, which I ordered in a bookshop in town. They told me, I should be with me in max. 2 days. That was 10 days ago  .

Oooh, I love the stairs & rolling carts in #3. And #6 is just amazing. It's almost like a cafe with books... which is the best. Coffee + wine + books under twinkling lights and a gorgeous panoramic view through glass? Yes please!! Ah, yes.. #10. Green stuff + coffee shop and books. Oh man!!!! And #11!!! I could get lost in there in my tiny nook reading book upon book for hours. What a great little place with so much character!

These are beautiful, but I must say that what I find most beautiful is a well-stocked used bookstore.
