Bookstores

especially where you can find a lot of cookbooks

Vienna/New York/London/Berlin

I loooove bookstores. They are one of my favorite places to be. I love to open a new book - the feeling and the smell of it. I really appreciate the written word on actual paper, because it gives you that extra good felling that you get when you hold a book or a magazine in your hands.

Usually one can find me in the bookstore in the cookbook section, where I definately spend most of the time. Other sections can be history, economy, culture and design!

Sadly the number of bookstores with a huge range of books is decreasing, because nowadays you can buy everything online. The problem is that I hate to order books online, unless you already know exactly what you want. I want to look into the book and just hold it in my hands and really turn the pages. So I am really excited to visit these shops or more specific cookbook shops, where you can find a huge selection of books. There are also special (culinary) events or workshops that you can look up on their website.
