The French noun librairie looks obvious, right? Library? Mais non, it is one of those words related yet different… it means bookstore. Library en français is bibliothèque. Biblio– the root is obvious once you know the word.
La Librairie Mollat is a sizable bookstore in Bordeaux that has gained a reputation not only for books, but for its photography of books as modeled by store employees. By reputation, I refer to its 50 000 Instagram fans. What makes Librairie Mollat special? Take for example:
The employees photograph book covers… modeled with fellow employees.
Most are amusing, but the precision of the photos astonishes me.
Employees lend body parts or portions of their faces.
The eyes in this lady amaze me.
This case looks almost transparent.
Mustaches are a thing.
Charming, isn't it!
I love this one.
Our paranormal pal Charlaine Harris is very much a thing, too.
Charlaine Harris' covers are by far the most popular.
Enjoy the rest of the show.
Clever!
Backstory…
Finally for you Star Wars fans…
