“Be Not Inhospitable To Strangers Lest They Be Angels in Disguise” – George Whitman

Just a few weeks ago, this blog featured a Parisian treasure, Shakespeare & Company. Today, this blog is dedicated to the man who made this writer’s and reader’s mecca all that it could be. George Whitman, an Angel in Disguise, died on Wednesday at the age of 98 years young.

No doubt, his spirit will linger on in every corner of the shop, between book and page now safely in the hands of his daughter and those entrusted with  Shakespeare & Company’s care.

If you have not experienced a visit to Shakespeare & Company, it is an unforgettable experience. When you cross George’s threshold, you enter another world. This is a world of books, writers, readers and a remarkable chapter in Literary History. George and Shakespeare & Company are each legendary in their own right.
