Bookshops tend to draw me in like a magnet, and it is relatively unusual for me to escape without buying something. Nice shots, Nathan. If you get chance you must visit Shaekespeares bookshop in Paris at 4 p.m. on a Tuesday. No good for photography books but quite an experience as it was frequented by the 'beat' poets and people still sleep free amongst the books if they are poor artists. And why so specific about the time? Well, if you are lucky you may get invited to the top room for tea and biscuits (free) which is a rare and honoured experience which happened to me once and will live a long time in my memory banks.
