Descend the few steps from the pavement into the nearly underground heaven of Twelfth Street Books, and you, you lucky person, will find a selection that is chosen with an eye for quality, unashamedly scholarly and (even more rare) well-priced. Those with a special fondness for bookstores so full that the books lay in rows and stacks on the floor (we know who we are) are in for a special treat here, where a lovely overflow spills out all over the place. Plus: 12th St. now has bags!

the kind of bookshop that I prefer!
Do the bookshops' owners let you easily take photos of their shop?I'm sure that in France, they wouldn't like it.
I'm surprised to see "lot of "( or at least several)french writers when I enlarge the photos.Good new for my country!
