Google mashup of bookstores and literary places

0

By Paul Biba

The Millions’ has a collaborative atlas of book stores and literary places. This Atlas is open to anyone and everyone to edit. Aside from the atlas the mashup also includes book blogger locations. The creator says: add the general location … of where you live. In the next year, I will be notifying you about authors who are coming to your area!

It’s fun to poke around the map and see what bookstores are where. The most unusual one is in the Antartic:

CSEC Library, Antarctic

The Crary Science & Engineering Center (CSEC), McMurdo Station, Ross Island, Antarctica (77.8475S, 166.6576W ,45m, or about 2200 miles due south of New Zealand) houses a library with views of glaciers and the Transantarctic Mountains
