Beautiful Pictures of Libraries & Bookstores
Thanks to Dan Colman, of Open Culture for pointing out the beautiful pictures of bookstores at Mirage Bookmark. Some of these places should be put on your list of 100 places to see before you die. My favorite? El Ateneo, in Buenos Aires. Another great one is the Lello bookstore in Portugal.
All the pictures from the Mirage site were taken from Flickr. It might be worth your while to just do a search on these names within Flickr. I found some amazing images tagged as "El Ateneo."
This same Mirage site also has some images of libraries around the world. Take a look. Somehow I wasn't as impressed.
