Hey everyone, I'm still out-of-pocket yet I stumbled upon something amazing in my European travels that I had to share immediately...
Picture this. A historic cathedral sits empty in the heart of Maastricht (Netherlands) shopping district.
Now picture this. Selexyz converts the historic cathedral into a bookstore.
That’s remarkable. So remarkable that I’m remarking about it here. So remarkable Seth is sure to reference this bookstore in a presentation. So remarkable you are going to spend time looking at the photos below and then click on the links to learn more. So remarkable you will remark about this with others.
Thats incredible I must say. Let's see it if penetrates the blogosphere bubble.

Remarkable indeed! And just as you have already predicted, I am going to post this remarkable innovative idea on my personal blog and hope others find it just as remarkable. Honestly, I have always wanted to put up a bookstore and I have always admired churches for their architecture. Guess someone finally put these two together. Although I do think they could have made the book arrangement more compatible with the whole environment.

John,
As a one-time architecture major (who wasn't an architecture major at one point?) and a book hound, this is very cool. By the way, when might we find another little gem from you within the walls of a bookstore?
