I have found my personal Mecca – Selexyz Dominicanen

Selexyz Dominicanen is the name of a bookstore in Holland that was created out of the dormant husk of a 13th century Dominican Church. Behold!

Greatest Bookstore in the World!

Truly I must voyage there and pay homage to the gods of the written word in this most holy of places.

Read a bit more about it in this Guardian article or see even more pictures
Thanks Mojo!

    Don’t dream, Do!! I’m sure Jess wouldn’t mind making a detour to Mecca.

    Must… go… worship… books…

    Unfortunately they’ll all be in Dutch, but it’s a small oversight.

  5. kilian says:

    Actually, the Guardian article says that they have a large selection of books in English, so…

  8. kilian says:

    Hey now…none of that Firefly speak here!

  9. Tengu says:

    I may have to find a way to incorporate that phrase into all of my comments from now on. Or cuss in Chinese.

  10. kilian says:

    Profanity in Chinese is welcome…

  11. exsulis says:

    Let it be known, Chinese Characters are not supported in this version.

    Kerri, you can always learn Dutch this year, and then make the pilgrimage to Mecca.
