Those of you who know me well know me to be quite a bookworm. As such, a bookstore is always one of my largest weaknesses. I simply love the atmosphere - the smell, the quiet contemplation, and of course, I adore the written words contained within the walls of a bookstore. In Maastricht, I have found one of my all time favorite bookstores, and being the nerd I am, I had to share the discovery with you.
What does a city that has a plethora of churches sitting unused do with a 13th century Dominican church? Create an amazingly beautiful bookstore of course!
Walking into this bookstore you can not help but spend time observing the building itself, looking at the intricate carvings and awe inspiring architecture. I simply love this bookstore and think it is a really amazing place in Maastricht. Now if only there was a larger section for books in English...
You should learn Dutch then... add it to your list of languages. :) Sarah
