It was such a shame to hear that George Whitman, owner of Shakespeare & Company passed away aged 98 this week.
One of the great bookstores of the world, Shakespeare & Company sits in the shadow of Notre Dame in Paris and is famous for sheltering writers, artists and poets who want to live in one of the great literary capitals of the world.
If you’ve never been to Paris and paid a visit to this wonderful bookstore (which you really should) you might recognise the bookstore in the films Midnight in Paris or Before Sunset.
