Some towns have only one resident, while the residents of other towns all live under one roof. 10The VillagesFlorida The Villages is a town in Florida that was built for retired people.

Tales of Jim Toole’s Tiny Bookstore There’s a little bookstore on C Street in Washington, D.C., with a slightly tattered window awning and dimly lit windows. On first glance, it looks quite gloomy. But then you step inside. Immediately, you are engulfed in a cavern of books. They pile from floor to ceiling, glower down from towering bookshelves, and overwhelm every crevice of the store. The store’s sections are handwritten notes taped to the shelves, often with special “directions.” Charles Simic shared his love of independent bookstores in a Tuesday New York Review of Books blog post. “Among the crowded shelves, one’s interest was aroused by the title or the appearance of a book. Simic reminds readers that in used books, we meet more than the author – we also meet past readers, mysterious and diverse. Jim Toole, Capitol Hill Books’ owner, told People’s District in August 2011 that he has gathered 20,000+ volumes from estate sales, yard sales, and auctions.

Step Inside the Trippy, Book-Lined Interior of D'espresso Cafe in NYC | Inhabitat New York City Even in today’s digital world, printed books still enjoy a huge fan following. There’s just something about holding a real book in your hand, wondering about the author, the characters, and the hands that might have held it before you. Nemaworkshop, a New York-based collective of architects, designers and thinkers, tapped into this bibliophilia with their design concept for the second location of D’espresso, a trendy coffee shop located on Madison adjacent to Grand Central Terminal. Using uniquely printed tiles, the designers turned the entire cafe on its side, giving customers the feeling of being in a bookstore owned by Alice and the Mad Hatter. There are people who love books, and then there are people who love books so much they use them as flooring, wall paper and ceiling tiles. The designers at Nemaworkshop and the owners of D’espresso are clearly the latter. Not surprisingly, the book-lined cafe has turned a few heads, some of them famous. + D’Espresso by Nemaworkshop
