Marc Jacobs opened a small bookstore on Bleecker Street, cutely calling it Bookmarc. In June we covered OHWOW, a boutique bookstore on Waverly, and at the time I remember one of our London editors saying she noticed a library theme getting stronger in store design.
Natural, tactile and 'slow' are fashionable qualities again, and books encourage lingering. But make no mistake -- they're mostly pictures.
