Similarly, we also provide virtual shelves for online books filed by their Library of Congress call numbers. To start browsing, select a link below for the topical area that interests you. Notes Most of our books have call numbers and subject terms, but a small portion of them (about 1/6 at present) do not have call numbers, and a lot of our fiction books (and some of our more obscure nonfiction) do not have subject headings. In physical libraries, books have only one call number, which determines where they get shelved.

Libros Maravillosos - Patricio Barros y Antonio Bravo THOUGHT PATTERNS: Bookstores I used to work in a smallish independent bookstore and it was truly one of the best jobs I ever had. To be surrounded by endless glorious volumes, to enter every morning into this multicolored world of words and pictures was truly a pleasure. I loved rearranging shelves (endlessly), lining up the books this way and that. There are plenty of bookstore gems in the world and I do hope they will persevere (one of them is City Lights, which I am happy to be able to call my neighborhood bookstore), but the most charming one is Shakespeare & Co. Located in the heart of Paris on the Left Bank opposite Notre-Dame, the bookstore was founded by George Whitman, a contemporary of such Beat poets as Jack Kerouac and Allan Ginsberg. It must be one of the most photographed bookstores in the world, sneaking its way into movies and litterature. The place is completely quirky and charming, packed from floor to ceiling with books. How absolutely thrilling. xoxoxo
