Can't Judge a Bookstore

This is El Ataneo(Grand Splendid) in Buenos Aires. I discovered this amazing building, and these amazing photographs thanks to Alkemie. Originally, this was a theatre built in 1919, which rather than demolishing when out of use became a bookstore.




Even the front is amazing.
The stage became the cafe and lounge area.
I have to say, my little Barnes and Noble around the corner doesn't even compare.
