It has 44 in 2008 when I just started uni. The one survived are very resilient. Also worth mentioning is the annual literature festival and black mountains to hike in the background.

Love this! I visited Hobart, NY ("book village of the Catskills") earlier this year, and had heard of a couple others like Wigtown in Scotland, but had no idea there were so many. Definitely going on the future travel ideas list :)

So much Catalonia. Though I haven't been to those, Barcelona reminded me of a pre-web college town in bookshop count.
