A new and used book store with gifts and ephemera too, and a First Draft Book Bar, with beer and wine, cheese boards, nuts, olives, etc.

Favorite bookstores from my travels

    The Bookworm of Edwards (Edwards, Colorado)

    Colorful. Great community. Such a cozy coffee bar. Beautiful setting at the base of the Rockies. For years I’ve dreamt of owning this place and living above it.

  • The Parisian storefront of the world famous Shakespeare & Company bookstore in France.

    Shakespeare & Company (Paris, France)

    On the banks of the Seine, the history and the beds that authors used to sleep in are crazy. It’s a tiny, creaky, magical legend of a place.
