Here's a list from the Guardian of some of the world's greatest bookstores. Some of these stores look amazing. They're like temples to books.

For bonus points, see if you can find the link that leads back to our blog.

My own list would include Powell's in Portland (boxy but so fun to get lost in), the Seattle Public Library (not a store, but still, a temple to books), Open Books in Seattle, Faulkner House Books in the French Quarter and the Kenyon College bookstore (at least the way it looked in the mid 80s, when I was a student there).
