The world of great bookstores

I was once in Montreal where I visited a bookstore. Not like the ones we know in Holland. No, there were chairs and tables, you could stay for hours reading, eating, drinking. I could spend my life there.
Another time when staying in Connecticut (America) I mentioned that I loved spending time at bookstores. I was driven to a huge one, only to be picked up hours later.

I am sure there are others, but in Holland I stumbled upon a really good one about 6 years ago: de Drvkkery. Massive amounts of magazines, good café, lots of tentilising stagionary, and books. It also has a fabluous entrance and has been named bookstore of the year 2009-2010 (Holland and Belgium). Thumbs up!
