Fodor's Review:
Shakespeare and Company, the sentimental Rive Gauche favorite, is named after the bookstore whose American owner, Sylvia Beach, first published James Joyce's Ulysses. Nowadays it specializes in expatriate literature. You can count on a couple of eccentric characters somewhere in the stacks, a sometimes-spacey staff, the latest titles from British presses, and hidden secondhand treasures in the odd corners and crannies. Poets give readings upstairs on Monday at 8 PM; there are also tea-party talks on Sunday at 4 PM.
