Shakespeare and Company questions
Can you take photos inside Shakespeare and Company?
The shop asks visitors not to take photos inside, so plan to snap the storefront from outside.
Why is there a line outside Shakespeare and Company?
The shop is small and popular, so staff limit how many people are inside at once. Lines move fairly quickly.
