It's been a while since I've waffled about an independent book shop, but when I saw this picture I couldn't resist. Situated in New York's Greenwich Village, Three Lives & Company describes itself as follows:
THREE LIVES is an anachronism.
It is the shop around the corner.
A touchstone in a neighborhood.
A
place with a human face and a cast of characters.
84 Charing Cross Road colored by the time and place.
A haven for people who read.
Who could resist? [via Karin Gillespie]
