It's somewhat reminiscent of fresco paintings in Italian churches. The spooky book section is in a haunted house with a plexiglass panel in the floor that reveals live pet rats beneath. It's a zany space with an incredible book selection, and I love taking my kids across the river to visit.

Great post and congratulations for the amazing podcast! Since Chris Brogan mentioned it, I have subscribed and instantly had the thought: "this is amazing! A podcast about books! How come I've never listened it?" :) Since you asked about other "interesting" bookstores, I went to one in Seville during my vacation in Spain. It used to be a theater and now it's a bookstore, but it still keeps the same "character". The photos I took are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/leonardocsouza/tags/bookstore/ Best, Leo Hi Ann!
