Me at Shakespeare & Co. Last April I visited this famous book shop in Paris. Their eclectic scrapbook-style homepage brilliantly encapsulates their aesthetic and promotes instore events, and they use their mailing list to email information to people all over the world. But despite embracing (not fighting) the internet, it is a huge threat to them and other independent book shops. |

This animation by Spike Jonze was made in the shop. I think it effectively uses (the internet and animation) technology to present the old fashioned world of the book shop as an exciting place.
This is useful in thinking about how I can adapt books so they translate into an online language which improves rather than destroys or cheapens literature.
