A Daily Thing

The end of an era

Posted in regular by Sabine on July 6, 2009

This is very sad: Brentano’s on the avenue de l’Opéra in Paris has just closed.  I bought books there many a times, and I am even certain my Magnetic Poetry too* (which I think my sister has custody of now).

Brentano's

The image is from Charles Bremner’s article on Brentano’s closing, and he also provides this handy list of other English-language bookstores in Paris.  My favourites were Tea and Tattered Pages, WH Smith and San Francisco, and let’s cross our fingers that they don’t close!

*Yay!!  At least I contributed revenue!

You are a piece of raw, sugar-free, vegan chocolate cake and within 15 minutes I will have eaten you (I eat very slowly).
