Legendary Paris bookshop Shakespeare and Company begs for help in pandemic

First opened by Sylvia Beach in 1919, the Parisian institution was frequented by writers including F Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, TS Eliot and James Joyce in the early 20th century. George Whitman opened today’s version of the shop in 1951, with James Baldwin, Lawrence Durrell, Allen Ginsberg and Anaïs Nin among its later visitors.

happy to support. We cannot lose our book stores.

summerbrennan Amazon should save stores like Strand and Shakespeare and Company. Keeping bookstore culture alive would be beneficial for Amazon.

Do they still refuse to sell books in the French language?

Maybe they should get jobs in cyber

CraigyFerg You must remember! 😉 I understand you can't do much, but at least you now know.

Maybe they should just turn it into a nonprofit org / a literary museum.

Get a Kindle.

Maybe we should make all bookstores into libraries that also sell new titles

I could never get past the smell of cat pee in that place, it was bad.

Well then, hurry the fuck up. Juliette is waiting.

💔

It really is a great bookstore. I've loved walking through it many time. It's like walking through history.

Pathetic hope they end up closing

The Strand in New York got a piece published in nytimes and it was inundated with on-line orders.

Good for France

They charge €12 for a chai latte at the cafe though...

bisscakes !!!

Congratulations!!!Very well done!!! Best Wishes God blessing you all🇮🇳💕💥
