4 Impressive Bookstores Worth Visiting Around the World

Housing Works Bookstore Cafe & Bar (New York, America)

As part of a non­profit organization, the bookstore donates its income to help with AIDS and homelessness. The spiral stair leading to the second floor of books gives the feeling of an old­style library in the heart of NewYork's chic Soho area.

EI Ateneo Grand Splendid (Buenos Aires, Argentina)

This book store changed from a 1919 theater becomes a special connection between the performing arts and books. It keeps the fresco (±Ú»­) ceiling and velvet curtains of the former theater. Books line the walls, including where the audience once sat in the box seats.

Word on the Water (London, England)

This floating bookstore on the Regent's Canal is known as “The London Bookbarge”. Moving around before, it has now found a home where visitors can come over all year round, getting warm by a wood burning fire in winter and enjoying music and art performances on the rooftop stage in summer.

Zhongshuge Bookstore (Hangzhou, China)

Each location of this Chinese chain is architecturally unique, but the location in Hangzhou stands apart. Stairs and seats built into round bookshelves combined with mirrored ceilings give the optical illusion of never­ending books.
