The French have such a love of word play ("les jeux de mots") and are so clever with it, especially when naming restaurants and shops.

It's quiet and unassuming (as all book stores should be, right?) but it's relative obscurity is one of the things I love about it.

Have never been to SF Book Co. though, and as a big book worm (and huge fan of used books!), this is definitely going on my list of places to visit when I venture across to St-Germain next time.

To answer your question, a favorite boutique of mine on the Left Bank is the Upla store... I love all handbags, and their famous and colorful "besaces" (I own two in different sizes,) have been around since the 1970s...<br />Bonne semaine.
