Sylvia Beach is an icon and it is great to know that her bookshop is in such good hands ...

Shakespeare & Co was first introduced to me by my English teacher who encouraged my class to visit it one day. It really is one of the legendary destinations for all bohemians and starving-writers.
-
Oh man I used to shope here growing up... so nice to see a pod on this!
-
I wondered what would happen to Shakespeare & Co once Sylvia took it on. I'm glad to see she is happy assuming the mantle. I have always found the shop a delightfully intimate sanctuary amid the city's impersonality. There is a place for institutions like Shakespeare & Co; they remind us that a sustainable business does not need to be driven by profit maximization, but simply by a sense of the contribution it can make to human flourishing. What other kind of business do we need?

Sylvia never looked so eloquent! Great editing.

I want to be an author someday and learning how there's places like this warms my heart. Books keep the world turning! Too bad its all the way at Paris. I would have definitely visit it often.
-
what a great profile pod!
I missed this shop when I was in Paris, definitely stopping by next time.
-
Its wonderful to see and hear Sylvia.
For a great read and a greater idea about Shakespeare
and Company read "Time was soft there" by Jeremy Mercer. He lived at the bookshop for a while and wrote of his experiences.-
