Tea and Tattered Pages in Paris
Following the discussions on the closings of The Village Voice and The Red Wheelbarrow, I'm sure many of you will be saddened to learn of the passing of Madame Hilda, the owner of Tea and Tattered Pages, the bookstore/tearoom on rue Mayet in the 6th arrondissement.

Would it be naive of me to hope it means more of the anglophones are beginning to read in French?
But I'm sure you are right, Mimi, that in many cases it is an economic factor, as happened with the bookstore on rue du Cherche-Midi, where the bookstore frequented by the surrealists will become an upscale boutique.
Sadly, the charming little salon de thé next door to the bookstore is another casualty. They had a lemon chicken tagine to die for.
