Bart’s Books, California
Bart’s Books书店，美国加利福尼亚州
Bart’s Books – which calls itself “the world’s greatest outdoor bookstore” – was set up in 1964 by Richard Bartinsdale, who left book cases on the street to sell titles he no longer wanted. Passersby could leave money in a coffee can. Now, the store has nearly 1m books – many of which are still sold through an honour system – as well as a courtyard where browsers can play chess under the shade of an apple tree.
自诩为“全球最大户外书店”的Bart’s Books创立于1964年，创始人Richard Bartinsdale将自己不再需要的书籍全部放在沿街书架上出售。路人可以将书钱放在咖啡罐中。现在，该书店藏书量近百万——很多书依然靠顾客自律掏钱购买，书店里还有一处庭院，“书虫”们可以在院子里的苹果树下摆局下棋。
