Underground book store in Coober Pedy, Australia
If you ever visit the outback town of Coober Pedy, do not miss to visit this unique book store.
The ceiling and the walls have the beautiful lining of red veined earth, it is like being in another world.
I have always a stack of new books I want to read, old books I want to read again or browse for favourite passages. I have also a Sony reader, I buy books on line, BUT nothing ever will substitute the pleasure, the happiness and the thrill, to be in a great book store to choose a book or more. to have them stacked up on tables and chairs to be ready to be read..and read again.
Read books you want to read not books which you think you must read.
Do not buy or treat books like fast food. Titania

ReplyDeleteStephanie, yes, I love books. Thank you for visiting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous collection. If I could add one to your list I would nominate Waterstones in Bradford, Yorkshire which is located in the wonderfully restored Wool Exchange building.
ReplyDeleteAlan,You are right, Waterstones in Bradford is a wonderful book shop. A fine building, the ceiling is beautiful. Well, it could not be used for something more appropriate then books. I did not know of it. Glad you told me.
