Avenida Santa Fe, Palermo
Buenos Aires.
Set in an old theatre, this bookstore is housed in a glorious and historic building in the heart of one of the trendy suburbs. Blew me away. I saw a program about it a couple of years ago on late night BBC World, and was thrilled to eventually find it.
A cafe at the back, or should i say, on stage, and five floors full of books, c.d's. DVDs on everything and anything.
I noticed lots of people like me with their cameras in hand taking pot shots at the place.
Outside, as i was taking more pics, an old guy came up to me and spoke in English and Spanish, telling me with obvious pride that the bookstore was one of the most beautiful in all of Latin America.
