A
The Worlds' Best Bookshops There's nothing like being surrounded by books,wherever you are.Here are the finest oas of literature that travellers can bring you.
Daikanyama T-site | Tokyo
It is well worth visiting even if just to admire the building's beautiful,crisscrosd architecture.Once you've had your fill of roaming three floors' worth of bookshelves,there's the bar,the coffee shop,or even the video rental space to give you more reason to stay just that little bit longer.Grab a book,order a beer and dive into its pages.I could have stayed hours here.
City Lights | San Francisco
The three-storey establishment publishes and lls titles in poetry,fiction,translation,politics,history and the arts.It hosts events and readings,and runs a non-profit of the same name that aims to promote diversity of voices and ideas in literature.It's opposite Vesuvio,a bar frequented by Kerouac and other Beat-generation writers and artists.
Shakespeare and Company | Paris
I made a special trip to the Left Bank for this one when I was in Paris.It has two floors packed with English-language texts,and I was particularly struck by any spare wall space devoted to notes from visitors - heartfelt messages to a loved one,dedications to the shop itlf,or a quote from a favourite author or philosopher.
Hutatma Chowk | Mumbai
A few years ago I visited India,investigating Rudyard Kipling's connections with the country.I spotted a cheap copy of The Jungle Book on one of the tarp-covered book stal
ls at Hutatma Chowk (Martyrs' Square).The bookllers here are like amateur librarians,able to lay their hands on almost any title you ask for.To me,tho well-thumbed (翻旧了的)books spoke volumes about the changes of Mumbai's readers in the 150 years since the city gave us Kipling.
