Time Was Soft There: A Paris Sojourn at Shakespeare & Co. -- Jeremy Mercer, Paperback Social justice - United States Growing up in West VirginiaWandering through Paris's Left Bank one day, poor and unemployed, Canadian reporter Jeremy Mercer ducked into a little bookstore called Shakespeare & Co. Mercer bought a book, and the staff invited him up for tea.
