She opened it in 1919 on the rue de L'Odeon, the one in the post. Beach closed the store when the Nazis moved into Paris in 1941. Ernest Hemingway "liberated" it in 1944. ( He also liberated the Ritz Hotel bar and later had Marlene Dietrich as a drinking companion there.)<BR/> Beach never reopened the store.<BR/> In 1951, an American, George Whitman, opened a store, using the Shakespeare and Company name, on the Left Bank. It is right on the banks of the Seine across from Notre Dame. This is the location of the store today. It is at 37 rue de la Bucherie.Nikonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14271472315834976236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28513205.post-82161070897457641132007-04-16T21:57:00.000-04:002007-04-16T21:57:00.000-04:00Hello isabella, thank you as always for thinking o...Hello isabella, thank you as always for thinking of me - I don't have cable here - & I'm facing East, so satellite won't work.

Th...Yeah, and bookstore owners and staff who read! <BR/><BR/>There was a very famous NZ writer named Janet Frame. She's probably the most famous in recent times in NZ, and she passed away maybe 2 years ago. Just before that, she got a series of accolades, one being the equivalent of being made a "dame" (as is done in England - we got rid of that system this century), one being selected to join an exclusive group where only 12 or 20 living Kiwis can be members at any time, in recognition of her contribution to NZ arts. Also just before or after she passed away, one of her stories for children got republished with new illustrations (she sells far more books in the US per capita) and one of her poetry books followed. <BR/><BR/>About a year ago, when the poetry book came out and everybody was reviewing it, I heard a woman ask where this poetry book is in one of the chain stores, and a NOT-so-young staff, who speaks with a Kiwi accent, who's NOT one of the stupid ones, asked matter-of-factly and loudly: "What is the title? Can you please spell the last name?"<BR/><BR/>I swear, about three shoppers turned around to and stared - and that's not counting me. And I promise I'm not being a snob.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350447919000146804noreply@blogger.com
