- More than a bookstore
- Set in the heart of Paris on the Left Bank opposite Notre-Dame, Shakespeare and Company bookstore has grown from a bookstore to an institution.It is situated into the Latin Quarter which for centuries has been the center of Parisian creativity and intelligensia.
- Since 1951, the bookstore has stubbornly kept its utopian ideals in a changing world. The shop has continued the legacy of Sylvia beach's Shakespeare & Co, inviting writers and encouraging new writers.
Shakespear and Company serves both as a regular bookstore and as a reading library, specializing in English-language literature.
The shop was featured in the Richard Linklater film Before Sunset and in the Woody Allen film Midnight in Paris. - Quotation
