Behold: the El Ateno Grand Splendid in Buenos Aires, a former theatre founded in 1919, coverted into a cinema during the 1920s and finally an incredibly beautiful bookstore in 2008.

With 734 booksellers, the city is the bookstore capital of the world and this one gets about a million visitors a year.
