The Abbey Bookshop, 20th Anniversary Celebration
The Abbey Bookshop, one of my favourite English-language bookshops in Paris, is celebrating it's 20th Anniversary on the 1st July 2009.
The thing I love about this place (other than the fact that in the cold winter months you can rest assured that Brian will always have some hot wine ready so you can warm up from the inside) is the generous piles of books, stacked higgledy-piggledy all over the place, making it difficult to navigate the narrow shop without knocking something over. And I immediately feel at home as soon as I walk in the door. I like to think that if I owned a bookshop, this is what mine would be like.
There is going to be a bunch of fabulous authors signing books, music and food! And it's taking place in the Saint-Séverin cloister, just around the corner from the shop - how cool is that? So... see you there?
The Abbey Bookshop, 25 rue de la Parcheminerie, 75005 Paris
(ps. last night I made Brian come out to pose for this shot, and he dragged out Alex(?) and his Canadian flag. Awesome.)
