17家特别的书店(下)

12.McKay's, Tennessee

McKay's, Tennessee offers more than just books. The idea of a "free enterprise library" stemmed from the concept of trading books you've read for ones you haven't. This Knoxville store is stocked exclusively with items that customers bring in to trade or sell.

田纳西州的麦凯书店提供的不仅仅是书。“免费企业图书馆”的概念源于用你读过的书交换你没有读过的书的概念。诺克斯维尔的这家商店专门存放顾客带来的用于交换或出售的商品。

13.Tattered Cover

Tattered Cover was established in Denver's Cherry Creek district in 1971 and now spans three locations. Customers can find both new and used books or just snuggle up in a corner with something new to read. Though it's a self-proclaimed "indie bookstore," Tattered Cover is kind of a big deal. The store's website describes Tattered Cover as "a Denver institution, a literary landmark, a community gathering place, and an experience you can't download." Notable visitors include J.K. Rowling, Hunter S. Thompson, Julia Child and no fewer than three U.S. presidents.

1971年，丹佛市切里克里克区成立了“破烂封面”公司，如今已遍布三个地区。顾客可以找到新书和旧书，或者只是依偎在一个角落里读一些新书。虽然这是一家自称为“独立书店”的书店，但破旧的封面确实是件大事。这家书店的网站将破旧的封面描述为“一个丹佛的机构，一个文学地标，一个社区聚会的地方，一种你无法下载的体验。”著名的游客包括J.K.罗琳、亨特·s·汤普森、茱莉亚·查尔德以及不少于三位美国总统。

14.Parnassus Books

"An Independent Bookstore for Independent People" is Parnassus' motto, and helping local creatives is its mission. Author Ann Patchett and publisher Karen Hayes started Parnassus in Nashville, naming it after the Greek epicenter of literature, knowledge and the arts.

“为独立的人提供独立的书店”是帕纳索斯的座右铭，帮助当地的创意者是它的使命。作家安·帕切特和出版商凯伦·海耶斯在纳什维尔创办了帕纳索斯，以希腊文学、知识和艺术的中心命名。

15.Battery Park Book Exchange

Battery Park Book Exchange in Asheville, North Carolina, is one of the most eccentric bookstores in America. The store boasts more than 22,000 books and a top-notch champagne bar. In this climbing maze of shelves, it’s not uncommon to see people snuggled up with their dogs and diving into a good book, espresso in hand.

位于北卡罗来纳州阿什维尔的巴特利公园书店是美国最独特的书店之一。这家书店拥有22000多本书和一个一流的香槟酒吧。在这个迷宫般的书架上，人们依偎在狗狗身边，手里拿着意大利浓咖啡，一头扎进一本好书里，这并不罕见。

16.Boulder Book Store

A local favorite on the Pearl Street Mall, Boulder Book Store houses more than 100,000 titles over its expansive three floors. As soon as you walk in, you'll find an extensive section of recommended books, with thoughtful explanations from staff members. It's the perfect place in Colorado to go if you have no idea what you're looking for — but be prepared to spend hours on end browsing the collection.

博尔德书店是珍珠街购物中心当地最受欢迎的书店之一，它有三层楼高，拥有超过10万册图书。你一走进图书馆，就会发现里面有大量推荐书籍，里面有工作人员经过深思熟虑的解释。如果你不知道自己想看什么，这是科罗拉多最好的去处——但你要准备好花上几个小时浏览这些收藏品。

17.Cafebreria El Pendulo

Though the books line the walls of Mexico City's Cafebrería El Péndulo, but this place offers so much more. Visitors can order breakfast, lunch and dinner from the cafe and drinks from the bar, all while enjoying live music, poetry readings, stand-up comedy, improv and more. This cafe/bookstore even has valet parking.

虽然墨西哥市的Cafebreria El Pendulo的墙上挂满了书，但这个地方提供的远不止这些。游客可以在咖啡馆点早餐、午餐和晚餐，在酒吧点饮料，同时享受现场音乐、诗歌朗诵、单口喜剧、即兴表演等等。这家咖啡馆/书店甚至有代客泊车处。
