Books set in book shops?

I'm not that sure about The Thirteenth Tale, it's only really the beginning which is set in the bookshop, although it does have a strong book connection, but the bookshop link is tenuous at best!

How about the marvellous Penelope Fitzgerald's The Bookshop?

 

or Craig McLay's Village Books?

 

Parts of The Book of Air and Shadows - Michael Gruber - are set in a bookshop.

The Bookstore by Deborah Meyler is set in a NY bookshop (the clue is in the title! :giggle2:).  I read it a while back, and although I didn't fall in love with it entirely, the sections in the bookshop itself are great.

 

I have been reading this book on and off since last year.  Maybe I would enjoy it more if I actually read it through.  I think I keep putting the book down because it does not grab me.

I've almost finished Little Paris Bookshop, it's quite a nice read, very whimsical, and set mostly on a book barge, although it's more about books than an actual shop, in fact the way he trades I can't believe he would make enough money to keep going!  But the setting is lovely, I can almost see the scenery drifting by.... :D

Good to know! I even went as far as to check it out of the library once, but still haven't read it.
