I cannot say much about amazing bookstores in Europe. But for me one of the most fascinating things in an international forum like this is the way certain facts are interpreted differently in different parts of the world. I'd say that over here in good old Europe, 100+ year old stores are nothing special at all. My favourite bookstore in town just celebrated its 125th anniversary, and another one was founded in 1768. Which should not be much of a surprise – in the Old World some things are, well... "old". ;-)
