As a bookseller who is afraid of heights, the idea of trying to find an item for a customer in one of those multi-story stores gives me nightmares.

...I’ll probably start a travel agency specializing on bookstore tours all over the world.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of bookstore clerks suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced by a stern look from the store owner.

Nowhere near the same scale as those depicted in the link, but I must say I found Paris' Shakespeare And Company pretty darn dreamy in it's own charming little way.

Double-esque. This blogpost looks like a serverely truncated reworking of this FPP.

They omitted the Real Gabinete Portugues de Leitura.

I'm a big fan of Open Books, in Chicago. The books are all donated and the proceeds go to literacy programs.

Actually, it looks like the link from that FPP was an expansion of what I've linked to above, since that post references this blogpost as one of the sources. This blogpost has more pictures of the 3 bookstores it does focus on, but the link in that FPP has outbound links that contain all sorts of photos, so yeah, this is pretty doubleish.
