Venice, Italy
Libreria Acqua Alta is a very unique bookstore in Venice. It's a must-see if you like books, boats, and cats. I took a picture of the boss trying to explain something to his human employee. 😸

I hope you'll accept the fact that a "street" might be a "quay" sometimes... :)
Oh, and I just love the way the boss is looking at his employee..
Great "street"photo, James. I see what you mean about the store owner. What a unique book store. It's a place I could spend lots of time browsing.
Marvelous photo!
LOL! Very cool photo!
That cat has something very important to say. It must be frustrating that everyone else speaks a foreign language.
I love this bookshop - especially sitting in the armchair and gazing out onto the canal. A great shot, James, that brings back happy memories for me
the cat looks like he's supervising, funny boy
To see the shop from the inside is revealing. Love the idea for the boats! Did snow fall in southern Calif.?
WOW! That bookshop is a marvel Very clever to have the books in boats so they float although i am not sure how you would find a book you are looking for. it might be at the bottom of a bath!! well worth seeing James. Thanks for hosting stay safe and have a great weekend
That is beautiful! so charming.
I'm sure you meant that the cat was the boss because that is what has happened in this house...she owns and I rent!!!...jp
That's my kid of bookstore!
Cute kitty! Have a good weekend.
Very nice photo.
Oh I absolutely would visit this bookshop James, I can't believe I didn't know about it when I was there last. The video is fabulous I enjoyed it so much, merci beaucoup.
btw meant to say what a super capture, the pussycat is looking up so adoringly :)
Great photo of the boss and his employee.Only the idea that your shop can get a load of water and that your books must be protect by boats to keep them floating is something to bizar to believe but the reality is different indeed. Link to that youtube movie is fantastic.
I remember that one year ago, you were in Paris and we ate at Polidor Restaurant. it's a nice souvenir our walk in Quartier saint Germain and our visit at Derolle. Today is quite different for me. I'm sick with covid. Going from one room to the other is a terrible effort. Spring arrives shyly. I hope I can take a walk before the next lockdown.
I would love to be in that store with this cute boss :)
Love the cat!! We've missed this shop, maybe it wasn't there in our first visit in the 1980's.
