Books and great architecture in one place: Livraria da Vila
If you're one of those who loves architecture and at the same time can't live without reading a good book, you should know the Livraria da Vila. Located at São Paulo, and designed by Isay Weinfeld, this fantastic bookstore puts good taste and comfort to make reading more enjoyable.
The books bring the colors to the walls and fun to each space, whether in a corner and even on the very entrance of the building, like a secret-lab! All internal objects, the bright yellow of the stairs and the floor reserved only for children are other features that Weinfeld thought to make this place very exciting.

Livraria da Vila 25 years of life in April 2010. And his story is so cool that deserves to be compared to that of a human being. Great boldness or claim? Let's try to understand. Since its birth, received the best education possible. Treated by parents, family and friendswith a lot affection, she lived up to expectations and became the darling all. Charming, friendly, responsive and democratic. The village was adopted by those who shared vision of library as a meeting place, a place to see people, buy books, hang out, drink coffee, listen to stories.

wow, but how do you reach the books at the top in in that hole?
Lovely places to be ;) Sit around just watch, don't touch the books, it will make a break in the wall. Lovely!
In Holland we've got a bookshop which is in a church...
Just give Google a shot with the phrase: Maastricht Bookshop Selexyz
Jorge Luis Borges said that if the Paradise was to exist on Earth, it was surely going to be a library/bookstore. He was so right about it.
I would love working in a place like this and I am sure all my friends would even make excuses to come and visit me.

i searched in google for "Maastricht Bookshop Selexyz", that's a really nice library! i like tall rooms :p
there's another library called "Livraria Cultura", i think there is about 5 or 6 of them in brazil. all of them have a nice wooden dragon interlacing the building pillars, that's a very colorful place. the shelves creates a maze, sometimes you get lost in there @.@
This is heaven for me. Gorgeous architecture as well.
