Porrua

This is a bookshop, but the slippery slide is too lovely to leave out

ebooks and bookshops

This photograph shows part of the window of the Hill of Content Bookshop in Balmain.  It is a lovely bookshop and this photograph does not do the shop justice, but that was not the purpose of the photograph.

I was really interested that this bookshop was advertising Kobo readers for sale in the shop.  It was an interesting tie in, and one of the few times I have seen ebooks and print books sold side by side in this way.

Libreria Porrua

Libreria Porrua is a Mexican bookshop, one branch is in a large park, near the botanic gardens and the National Anthropology Museum.

This bookshop is impressive because of its light and open structure (it even had a full size tree growing through the building).  It looked a lovely bookshop, the kind any one would like to have in their community.



It had a lovely connection to the park, and is welcoming and engaging.

Simply books - the format does not matter

This bookshop at Salt Lake City Airport was making sure it was reaching a range of reader.  In a very prominent position at the front of the store was a stand displaying kindles for sale.  It fitted really well with the look of the bookshop as you can see.  I photographed this because this is still not a common sight, even in airport bookshops.
