Talk:Shakespeare and Company (bookshop)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There is also a bookstore by this name in Vienna, Austria. Whether or not it bears any relationship to the Paris or New York stores I don’t know.

- The Paris store is the only "original" - though it has inspired store names across the world (like the NYC chain/Vienna Store). AKeen 13:59, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tumbleweeds

"The upstairs also serves as a makeshift dormitory for travelers, known as "tumbleweeds," who earn their keep by working in the shop for a couple of hours each day."

Where can more be found about this??? - —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.200.175.23 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Permission to use the name?

The statement in the lead paragraph, that Whitman "appropriated" the name on Sylvia Beach's death, "not of her own volition," is at odds with this from Wiki's George Whitman article: "In 1962, Sylvia Beach died, willing to George Whitman a good deal of her private books and the rights to the name Shakespeare and Company." We need to determine which is right, and reconcile the two stories. 72.23.85.5 (talk) 16:47, 11 May 2008 (UTC) (Randall Lewis)
