Emily Temple's Flavorwire post celebrating the glories of the places where books are sold includes a bookshop in a converted Dominican church in Holland, books arranged round a neo-gothic staircase in Portugal, a movie theatre converted into a bookstore in Argentina, and Shakespeare and Company, the iconic bookshop on the Left Bank in Paris.

If there are any bookshops you think are missing from Emily's list, she invites people to add them to the comments. And if you would like to post pictures of your favourite bookshops in Talkback, we'd love to see them.
