Nice piece. I respect and admire the French love of books. I came home from a 5-week stay in France last summer with VERY heavy suitcases stuffed with books. My dream trip is to tour all 8 of the 'villages du livre.' I might need to rent a shipping container to get all my finds back home!
Loved this! Both my wife and I come from a book background - we both worked in bookstores before changing careers and I started in school libraries at around 10 years old! One of the hardest things we’re having to do at the moment is downsize our book collection. Thankfully e-books are a great space saver! But we’ll never get rid of all the physical books. Some of them we love too much.

Thanks for your message. I relate to going a little nuts on the book-buying, so I have to discipline myself when I go to Paris!

I am so with you! I am a bibliophile through and through. (I also worked in the library in college.) Hang on to those favorites!
