From The Guardian: Down and out in Paris.

We pushed our way through the crowded shop, Sylvia stopping every two seconds to answer a question or help a customer. The books are piled over two floors – the ground floor deep and open, stacked with new and in-print titles, the upper floor a warren of second-hand volumes, anything from Gibbon to Hemingway. There’s a library space for sitting and reading because this shop isn’t a pay-n-go Anglo-Saxon business model, it’s a place for the browser and the flâneur. You pass the time here, in the company of books.
