8 Bookstores Around The World You Have To Visit At Least Once In Your Life

7. The Last Bookstore, Los Angeles

Popularly known as the labyrinth, once inside you are transported into a scene from a sci-fi film. The Last Bookstore houses an impressive collection of not just books, but also vinyl records and graphic novels. The owner, Josh Spencer, set the store up operating from a loft. Today, it is a 22,000 sq.ft shop in downtown LA.

Did we mention that it’s also the largest bookstore in California?

8. Librairie Avant Garde, Nanjing, China

We’ve covered theatres and train stations converted into bookstores. A church and parking lot next, maybe? The Librairie Avant Garde in China does exactly that. This 4000 sq. metre property was a former parking space and also served as a bomb shelter. Yellow signs on the road lead you till the basement bookstore, which is located close to the Nanjin University. The cash counter has been built from old books and there is a coffee shop in place, too.

Take a stroll in book heaven.

So, how many have you visited yet?
