On Thursday, we received a lovely postcard from a young client who aced her French oral exam, dressed in full Bourgine. Well done, Éléonor!
Upon receiving this letter, the theme of our newsletter became ovbious:
Here are the current reads of the 15 rue Racine students: - Romane: Franny and Zooey, J. D. Salinger - Evelyn: Bluets, Maggie Nelson - Caroline: When we cease to understand the world, Benjamin Labatut - Justine: Wabi-Sabi: For Artists, Designers, Poets and Philosophers, Leonard Koren
Fun fact, it's not uncommon for our customers to trade the small fortune earned by selling their second-hand books to our neighbor Gibert for a brand-new Bourgine piece...
Meanwhile, we are buzzing behind the scenes preparing for a big event. I'm sworn to secrecy, but get ready to spend an evening with us in early October.
Have a nice Sunday!
Bonus — Caroline has a habit of spying on captivated readers in the Paris metro:
Bourgine 15 rue Racine in Paris Monday-Saturday, 11am-7pm Sunday, 12am-7pm
