5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Insight Into The Most Famous Bookstore in Paris, 18 Nov 2005
By Rebecca Papin "Literary Connoisseur" (Paris, France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is quite a spectacular book, a privileged look into the most famous English language bookstore in Paris, Sylvia Beach's Shakespeare & Company. Not only is it delightful to read the history of how Sylvia's modest dream became such a huge success, but it is also fascinating to read about Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, and James Joyce when they were young. The language is rich and fulfilling, the photos insightful, and in the end, I really felt as if I had been part of it all, sitting in Sylvia's bookstore, hearing the rustle of pages as the day passed away.
