If you want a true Parisian adventure, you can sleep in the store for a night in exchange for a little housekeeping. Good old George once tried to convince me to spend the day in one of the store's little reading nooks/beds reading a book I wanted to buy so I wouldn't have to spend the money, but I wanted the little Shakespeare & Co. stamp he placed on every book purchased from there so I bought it. He sure as hell helped an awful lot of travelers, tourists, Parisians, and probably homeless people through the years and I try to always purchase something from here to assure it stays alive especially now that George is gone.… see moresee less
