Few things are more enjoyable than whiling away the afternoon in a bookstore, flipping through best sellers, first editions, and new discoveries. Except, perhaps, when that bookstore is as captivating as the books on its shelves. In the age of e-books and Kindles, these literary havens feel even more special, so we went in search of shops around the world that boast incredible inventories as well as amazing architecture and design. From modern marvels in China and Rio de Janeiro to a shop in Portugal that looks straight out of Harry Potter, these bookstores are worth the trip.
