It IS a bookstore. I just can't remember the name. I think it's located in Paris if my shoddy memory serves.
Edit: Found it. It's Shakespeare & Company, Paris, France. The photo appeared on Flavorwire as part of the 20 Most beautiful bookstores. Last edited by Crusader; 03-02-2012 at 01:40 PM. |

Is this Trinity College Library in Dublin? I saw this picture and thought 'I've been there' and thats the only place I think it could be. |

Seems to be. I've found one site that uses the same images and the filename is TrinityLibrary.jpg and doing a Google image search shows the same location.

I agree with those who value books and prefer a real book to electronic one. It is like food...you should feel it with your hands, notice how it smells...

OMG food porn. I love looking at food porn. I don't even care about calories; for me, it's that the food I look at didn't take me hours slaving in the kitchen. Pretty for the eyes, no effort to make.

When I'm reading a good book, I don't notice how the book feels or smells, I'm too busy with reading. I do like being able to choose whatever font size on the e-reader that I want, I do like that the screen isn't yellowed like the pages of an old book often are, I do like not having to hold the e-reader open, and I do like having hundreds or even thousands of books on my e-reader. Paper books have advantages too, I can get them for cheap or free, and many aren't available as e-books yet, and it is easy to loan them or give them away. |
