Q: What’s the most romantic place you can take a hardcore bibliophile on a date?

Gavin and Arya’s night at this gorgeous little book shop is when their “friends with adventures” relationship becomes a whole lot more.  Hidden doors, glass-enclosed rooms, windows to the starry night sky, books and cocktails and intimate touches under the table.

If I could create such a magical space in real life, it would look a little like this…
