For me the worshiping of unique BOOK during the years was changed by the disappointment that most of them are just the "products" on sale, like many others. But I still feel pleasure anticipation near the book store or when see such great photo).
A used bookstore is one of my favorite haunts; I prefer stores that are really and truly stocking old, used books. Although I patronize all kinds, some of them are not the traditional kind of shop I like. This one looks like a shop I would visit and treasure.
I could spend hours...I love used bookstores and that one really does look quite inviting.

I've spent lots of "terrible days" in places like this.
Very inviting!
To sit in that chair and read all those books, I love it.
Look at that--and a cozy, worn chair, to boot!
Julie and I used to spend time in old book stores. We have filled all of the shelves in our library at home (where I spend a lot of my time in a chair like that, but with a lapboard and laptop instead of my old book collection occupying my time).
We have a collection of old travel books and like to compare the old engravings with our memories and photographs of what the places look like today.
One thing that continues to amaze me is the flowery verbosity of the writing in old books, when words had to convey much more knowledge than today, in our get-to-the-point efficiency. Also, the literary references in old books assume a much greater familiarity with the classics than today's writing.
I love the neatly stacked shelves wiht all the colors! That find leather chair if very inviting too.

ABSOLUTELY my kind of place!!some dream of palaces, i dream of such a chair among so much books! so delicious!
I totally agree with Malyss! I would be very happy there! Any chance to find a good French book?
Léia :)
Nice photo, it's amazing that a book case is hardly ever empty.
Absolutely NOTHING better! I'd like to settle in that chair with a good book for the rest of the afternoon.
I rarely buy used books, but I guess I should as it does save you some money, and chances are that you will find something you normally wouldn't.
I agree! Wonderful shopping and often great finds in shops like this.
Oops! At first I thought this was your den!
Seriously? No, a good used bookstore is priceless at any time of year!
Ohhh, that bookshop and armchair are calling to me from across the globe!
So right. There are only two things I miss about England really - bookstore and theatre. Of course we have bookstores in France but not many with English books. The one in Monaco closed recently. Yes a bookstore on a cold October day. Perfect. Meanwhile if you haven't got one around, there is always Amazon...
It is the jumble which appeals ...
Good book are rare today, but I don't care and re-read my favorite old ones which get better every time.
Dontcha ya just love a used-book store. I could stay forever. MB
Yes I agree.
Very inviting.
Looks like paradise!
10 years from now my room would be the same like of that picture. Inviting indeed. Books are well kept.^___^
