A little sign outside says, “Welcome to the Most Beautiful Bookshop in the World”. It just might be. Step inside and find a full-sized gondola smack in the middle of the shop, overflowing with books. Head to the back  and take a seat in front of the open doors; the canal at your feet, water gently splashing against the doorstep as you flick through a book.
