Libreria Acqua Alta, Venice, Italy

意大利威尼斯 Libreria Acqua Alta书店

This bookstore features classic volumes of American and Italian books packed in traditional Venetian gondola boats. But the show-stopping attraction is the back of the bookstore, which opens up to a beautiful canal.

“Its a bookshop right on the canal that floods every year, so the eccentric, stray-cat-adopting owner keeps his books in boats, bathtubs and a disused gondola to protect them,” writes Paris Review.

The store is also lauded for its extensive art and postcard collections.

这家书店的特色是把美国和意大利的经典书籍装在威尼斯传统的贡多拉船上。但令人赞叹的在于书店的后面,把门打开就是美丽的运河。

“这家书店所在的运河每年都发洪水,所以那位爱收养流浪猫的古怪店主把书放在船里、浴缸里和废弃的贡多拉里来保护它们。”《巴黎评论》写道。

这家书店也以丰富的艺术和明信片收藏品而广受好评。

John K. King Used and Rare Books, Detroit, Michigan

密歇根州底特律 John K. King Used and Rare Books书店

This bookstore houses more than a million books in an abandoned glove factory in Detroits industrial wasteland.

Cardboard signs, musty paperback aromas, and a hand-scrawled map out of a Wes Anderson panic attack are your tour guides as you lose track of time and the person you came with.

这家书店位于底特律工业废地的一家废弃的手套厂处,拥有超过百万册图书。

当你忘记了时间,发现和你同来的人已离开时,硬纸板的指示牌、发霉的平板书的味道,以及韦斯·安德森恐慌症发作时做的潦草的手绘地图是你的向导。

El Ateneo, Buenes Aires, Argentina

阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯 El Ateneo书店

This bookstore is housed in an ornate theater building from the 1920s. Customers can sit in still-intact theater boxes to relax and browse their books.

“While the selection of books on offer is standard chain store fare, bibliophiles will find the staggeringly opulent display of books to be reason enough to pay El Ateneo a visit,” according to a website.

这家书店坐落在20世纪20年代一个华丽的剧院大楼中。顾客们可以在完好无损的包厢中放松和浏览图书。

“虽然所提供书籍的价格是标准连锁店的价格,但是藏书爱好者们会觉得,这家书店里那种华丽得不可思议的图书展示方式值得他们前往。”某网站上写道。

Shakespeare and Company, Paris, France

法国巴黎 Shakespeare and Company书店

The original Shakespeare and Company on Paris Left Bank was a hangout for Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound, and James Joyce, but closed during World War Two.

The store re-opened in 1951 and has become a popular place because of its ambience and selection.

“Time has not sundered the lovers between literature and Pariss Left Bank,” writes Time. “The Shakespeare and Company bookstore has long been a fixture of the affair.”

书店原址位于巴黎左岸,是欧内斯特·海明威、埃兹拉·庞德和詹姆斯·乔伊斯经常去的地方,但在二战期间关门了。

书店在1951年重新开张,因氛围和藏书成为大众喜爱的去处。

“时间没有把文学和巴黎左岸这对爱人分开,”《时代》周刊写道,“这家书店一直是他们这段感情中的固定角色。”

这家壮观的书店是世界上最美丽的书店之一,它同时也是个二手市场,在这里每个人都会开心。

“Corso Como是一个美妙的低调高端时尚区、咖啡馆、书店和艺术中心,位于米兰比较好的地段,”一名该店的粉丝在网上写道,“如果你不留心,你很可能就错过了这个地方,但是当你进入它的大门,你就知道你是来体验的。”

This shop used to be a train station, and miniature trains still go around the shelves. The architecture, which includes rounded ceilings and decorative lighting, is stunning.

“Barter Books also has open fires in winter, a station buffet with a menu made up of home-made or locally sourced food (both hot and cold) and speciality coffees and teas, and a childrens room filled with toys,” according to the guide.
