The Art of the Bookstore by Gibbs M. Smith


I bought this book at Riverow Books in Owego, NY (it's featured in it). Every page has a painting of a different bookstore somewhere in the world. There are also descriptions, brief histories of the stores, and even writings from some of the owners. There are also wonderful quotes about books throughout the entire thing. It is absolutely beautiful.

"A room without books is a body without a soul." -Cicero
