Writing about an English bookshop is maybe a good starting-point for an english post in this blog…. :o)
Paris has several english bookshops, but this one is crafters heaven. You cross the shop until you think it’s the end of it, then one or two steps more… and you’re in an amazing crafts department. A whole room, shelves exclusively reserved for books about knitting, crocheting, quilting, embrodery,… and some other crafts. Most of them are in English, but of course also in French and even japanese! (They have very instructive pictures, so I think one can well use them without the ability of reading japanese.)
Odds are definitely against getting out there without having found something one absolutely needs. :o)
address: 37, Avenue de l’Opéra 75002 Paris (Metro Pyramides)
(Is you’re not in Paris: The have a website and the crafts-department has a site of it’s own
