I LOVE seeing bookshops on the big screen. Or on the telly. Anywhere, really. Here are some of my favourites.
Black Books. Funniest episode ever! Elephants and Hens. Wherein Bernard and Manny try to write a kids’ book.Woody Allen’s, Hannah and her Sisters. Got me reading E E Cummings.Notting HillCarolina’s bookshop in Desperado. A good place to launder jingle…Flourish and Blotts. Rowling dreams up the best names.84 Charing Cross Road. When books were delivered in tea chests…You’ve Got Mail. This gorgeous shop always puts me in mind of The Little Bookroom here in Melbourne.
I bet I’ve missed heaps. Let me know your favourites!

You’ve got mail and Notting Hill get my vote 😉
There’s something romantic about bookshops isn’t there, Debra? If I directed romances I’d always include a bookshop. Or three. 😉
Your picks are excellent. Can think of libraries in books but no other screen bookstores. Must ponder further. Or maybe watch more movies.
Ha! Yes, watch more movies is always a good plan, Katie. I’ll keep thinking too, I’m sure there’re heaps more…
I’d have to include the bookshop in the riotously funny Black Books: http://www.channel4.com/programmes/black-books/on-demand/27470-001
Absolutely, Tessa! Isn’t it fabulous? I love that series to bits. That’s why i put it first. can’t go past it. Thanks for link! 😉
