The brash casino and entertainment centre Montecasino is not the first place you may expect to find a bookshop and yet just off the entrance to the gambling floor is this two-storey bookshop, complete with a ground floor coffee shop and a champagne bar on the upper level which even has its own baby grand piano. The contemporary styled shop's theatrical concept features, such as a fish tank shaped like a pair of cartoon eyes, are as different from Montecasino's faux-Tuscan streets as can be. The shop hosts regular events such as book launches, poetry evenings and book club meetings.
