12.McKay's, Tennessee

McKay's, Tennessee offers more than just books. The idea of a "free enterprise library" stemmed from the concept of trading books you've read for ones you haven't. This Knoxville store is stocked exclusively with items that customers bring in to trade or sell.

田納西州的麥凱書店提供的不僅僅是書。“免費企業(yè)圖書館”的概念源于用你讀過的書交換你沒有讀過的書的概念。諾克斯維爾的這家商店專門存放顧客帶來的用于交換或出售的商品。

13.Tattered Cover

Tattered Cover was established in Denver's Cherry Creek district in 1971 and now spans three locations. Customers can find both new and used books or just snuggle up in a corner with something new to read. Though it's a self-proclaimed "indie bookstore," Tattered Cover is kind of a big deal. The store's website describes Tattered Cover as "a Denver institution, a literary landmark, a community gathering place, and an experience you can't download." Notable visitors include J.K. Rowling, Hunter S. Thompson, Julia Child and no fewer than three U.S. presidents.

1971年，丹佛市切里克里克區(qū)成立了“破爛封面”公司，如今已遍布三個地區(qū)。顧客可以找到新書和舊書，或者只是依偎在一個角落里讀一些新書。雖然這是一家自稱為“獨立書店”的書店，但破舊的封面確實是件大事。這家書店的網站將破舊的封面描述為“一個丹佛的機構，一個文學地標，一個社區(qū)聚會的地方，一種你無法下載的體驗。”著名的游客包括J.K.羅琳、亨特·s·湯普森、茱莉亞·查爾德以及不少于三位美國總統(tǒng)。

14.Parnassus Books

"An Independent Bookstore for Independent People" is Parnassus' motto, and helping local creatives is its mission. Author Ann Patchett and publisher Karen Hayes started Parnassus in Nashville, naming it after the Greek epicenter of literature, knowledge and the arts.

“為獨立的人提供獨立的書店”是帕納索斯的座右銘，幫助當地的創(chuàng)意者是它的使命。作家安·帕切特和出版商凱倫·海耶斯在納什維爾創(chuàng)辦了帕納索斯，以希臘文學、知識和藝術的中心命名。

15.Battery Park Book Exchange

Battery Park Book Exchange in Asheville, North Carolina, is one of the most eccentric bookstores in America. The store boasts more than 22,000 books and a top-notch champagne bar. In this climbing maze of shelves, it’s not uncommon to see people snuggled up with their dogs and diving into a good book, espresso in hand.

位于北卡羅來納州阿什維爾的巴特利公園書店是美國最獨特的書店之一。這家書店擁有22000多本書和一個一流的香檳酒吧。在這個迷宮般的書架上，人們依偎在狗狗身邊，手里拿著意大利濃咖啡，一頭扎進一本好書里，這并不罕見。

16.Boulder Book Store

A local favorite on the Pearl Street Mall, Boulder Book Store houses more than 100,000 titles over its expansive three floors. As soon as you walk in, you'll find an extensive section of recommended books, with thoughtful explanations from staff members. It's the perfect place in Colorado to go if you have no idea what you're looking for — but be prepared to spend hours on end browsing the collection.

17.Cafebreria El Pendulo

Though the books line the walls of Mexico City's Cafebrería El Péndulo, but this place offers so much more. Visitors can order breakfast, lunch and dinner from the cafe and drinks from the bar, all while enjoying live music, poetry readings, stand-up comedy, improv and more. This cafe/bookstore even has valet parking.
