I found this amazing shot over at Weisheng’s photostream. There’s an article on this bookstore, which is located inside a former Dominican church in Maastrichtthe, over at De Zeen. The same shop also happens to be number one on the Guardian’s list of The World’s 10 Best Bookshops.
God, if there were a bookstore like this anywhere in driving distance of where I live, I’d hide out in the bathroom at closing so that I wouldn’t have to leave during the weekends. All the kids would know me as the crazy hobo of the church bookstore.

One of my favorite bookshops! Well, as far as scenery goes. But actually, the collection isn’t that smashing and the acoustics of the church make the whole place incredibly noisy.
It would be a good place to stay at night… I’ll check the bathrooms next time I’m there.

ps: TGGM is brilliant.
