Features: This book is divided into four chapters. Chapter 1 is "Landmark Bookstores," introducing five highly renowned bookstores. The first four are "Shakespeare & Company" in Paris, "The Folio Society" and "Schocken Books" in New York, and "City Lights" in San Francisco. Although all are small independent bookstores, they are famous for their colorful and diverse historical backgrounds. The fifth is "Barnes & Noble," one of the most distinctive large chain stores in the United States, located in the center of Philadelphia. These bookstores have become famous local landmarks, and even general travel books feel compelled to give them special mention.
