On the Left Bank in Paris, just across from the Notre-Dame lives a bookstore and an institution. Shakespeare and Company is an amazing place with an amazing past. You can quite literally read its history in the many nooks and cranny's filled with soul. It is well worth reading the Wiki entry and visiting the website. Then, go to Paris and experience Shakespeare and Company for yourself. From my blog at: www.JohnRRogers.com If you enjoy my work, please comment.
