Recently, we scoured the globe (and the Internet) to bring you our picks for the 20 most beautiful bookstores in the world. But of course, there are hundreds of gorgeous bookstores, and even more definitions of what makes a place beautiful, and so we asked you, our dear readers, to pitch in with your own favorites in the comments — and you all complied in force!

Click through to see another roundup of some of the most beautiful bookstores in the world, from Slovakia to Brazil to West Chester, PA, and let us know which one is your own all-time favorite in the comments!
