Time Was Soft There: A Paris Sojourn at Shakespeare & Co. by Jeremy Mercer

4.0

My sister and I happened upon Shakespeare & Co. one cold, rainy Paris winter day in 2007. We didn't know anything about the place. We just said 'huh, that bookstore seems to be an English-language bookstore, let's check it out.' Also there's a small NYC chain called Shakespeare and Company, so our initial thought was maybe this one was somehow related.

Of course I loved the store, and I bought a book. It wasn't until much later that I learned anything about the store/the history. So this book was a fun read for me, just a peek into what goes on inside this place.
