SHAKESPEARE & COMPANY BOOKSHOP

I've been there in 1995 and didn't want to leave that wonderful place ;-) I love books!

It was one of the most amazing places I have ever been! Once I get a bit of money, I will go to Paris and stay there for a bit. :D

I lived upstairs at this bookstore and worked in it in the mid 1970s, and I am ready to go back and live there again, but I think the beds still have bedbugs. Me and some others moved after George the owner wanted us to clean up the basement, and in exchange, we could live upstairs in one of the apartments. Instead, we all left. We should have done the job and moved upstairs. Opportunities lost. Gerry Kantor

Wow! how very fortunate you were to have spent some time living in the bookshop. I hope that when I go to Paris in the not too distant future I will have the opportunity to live there as well even if its only for a few hours or a day or two.

This is a most amazing book shop, when I stumbled across it I fell in love immediately.

I can't wait to go and see it for myself.

I went there on June 2001. I was so excited, my first time in Paris, this bookstore I had heard so much about... Unfortunately, a guy who was working there treated me like shit. I finally bought the complete works of Oscar Wilde (the first thing that was at hand, as I was rather nervous) and left. I'm from Uruguay. In spite of what happened, I still believe it's a magical place. Hope next time things will be different.

When I return to Paris one of these days, this bookstore will be the first location I will go to.
