From the company's web site" GEORGE WHITMAN
ReplyDeleteOn Wednesday 14th December, 2011, George Whitman died peacefully at home in the apartment above his bookshop, Shakespeare and Company, in Paris. George suffered a stroke two months ago, but showed incredible strength and determination up to the end, continuing to read every day in the company of his daughter, Sylvia, his friends and his cat and dog. He died two days after his 98th birthday. "
Change is constant. Here's hoping the shop stays the same, even though the long-time owner has passed on.
