BOOKSTORE LOVE AFFAIR: Libreria el Ateneo

This week's bookstore love affair features a beautiful and creative use of space located in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Address: Avenida Callao,
                Buenos Aires, Argentina
                + 54 11 4813-6052

Why you'll love it: This bookstore is incredibly beautiful and unique. The building itself (known as El Ateneo Grand) was once a gorgeous performance palace. The bookstore uses the main floor where seating once was as well as the opera boxes to store books and provide reading rooms. Though it now functions as a store, it has been able to keep its original luster of a performance venue from the 1920's.
