I love love love bookshops. And I love the smell and the environment of old books even more. In Mexico City there is an insanely cool second-hand bookshop with a vibe…. It’s a bit run down, a little dark at times and houses an incredible amount of second-hand book treasures. When I discovered the bookshop, my self-imposed ban on buying books really hurt for the first time. Simply because I would have loved to browse here and pick something up.
As you can see from the pictures, everything is organised by genre and subject. Really cool!
And to be honest, the shop swallows you up a little. I can’t say exactly what it is, but the atmosphere in there is like time has stood still. It’s super quiet and somewhere a little bit worn out and at the same time you can feel the stories of all the books that linger there.
Go or not? If you’re a bookworm, definitely! Otherwise, I don’t think this place is for you. If you don’t speak Spanish, there is of course an English section 😊
