Wow - what a book shop. So many books. Love the unusual way it is laid out. Love the book stairs too - so quirky. This is definitely worth seeing when in Venice - thanks for showing us 😍
Very interesting awesome place in Venice I agree with you there SO MANY BOOKS very cool that most of the books would survive due to various forms of flotation book staircase how neat
They had a really good system. Even the books on shelves were up on crates and there were no books on the lower shelves. They were ready for anything! ;)
Amazing. Andrew from Pusa just reminded me how great your vids are and no doubt the quality is certainly amazing. What a wonderful bookshop in an amazing location like Venice. Cheers!
Wow. So going there to find something specific might end up burning a day or two. Great idea to put the books in gondolas and tubs and such to avoid being destroyed by flooding. Nice little find, once you find it.
📖 A unique and interesting place for sure! 🎬 Superb work integrating your professional narration, and contemporary audio track with your footage. A pleasure as always @Down the Wrabbit Hole Travel ☺✌
I wanted to see this but we ran out of time. Next time for sure. Great to see shots of it. Venice is a maze for sure. Loved wandering and getting lost. I think we passed that square a few times one day. Wow crammed full of books. I wonder how many they actually sell. I bet it’d be neat to see it at high water. Neat stairs!
They have done a great job creating a really unforgettable ambiance there. And I love how they 'upcycled' the damaged books instead of tossing them! :)
LOL This is the first I am hearing about it. I am entering into a competition for a blogger trip to India, but people have to nominate me, maybe that was it??
A floating bookshop. That is fabulous. I love the boat in the store. I have never heard of it before. I need to add it to my bucket list. Gosh how do you find a book in there.
Wonderful video! Thank you! I am glad was able to watch it and see what changed since I was in Venice many years ago! This book shop definitely looks like my parents library, LOL
Floating book shop that's crazy and fantastic :) must be hard to find it with the narrow passageways. Venice looks so cool. Glad you eventually found it. Though how you can find a book in there is crazy lol
When you said it was difficult to find the library, I searched for it with Google Maps and immediately made me an itinerary up there. Just little missed to start the car and visit Venice again :)). I liked the completely ecological and friendly method of keeping the mice away from books: the cat.🙂 It's really the most special bookstore I've ever seen. It was a good idea to do an episode about it. Warm greetings!
You definitely should make a stop there if you can. It is totally worth the visit! We avoided using Google Maps in Venice just because getting lost there is totally part of the fun! :) We were in no hurry to get anywhere.
Reminds me of the movie Ink heart.Love the books in boats,bathtubs.We have been watching an old show on hulu called Pioneer Quest,filmed in Canada about 1870s settlers,have you seen it?
I loved Inkheart!! Good comparison! I have never heard of Pioneer Quest - will have to check it out. Except we don't have Hulu. I'll see if I can track it down.
This is really incredible! I missed this video a year ago, but I see many yt friends who commented below. I’m glad you tweeted this out! I am here catching this spectacular book shop out! Thanks!!
It was such a neat place. And ironically, not long after we got home from Venice, the city had a really awful flood - and the bookshop was fine! They were ready for it! ;)
Pretty neat idea to have the books in the boats and tubs in case of a flood, but boy the disorganization yikes. The book stairs was neat. Did it feel like walking on books or did it feel like walking on regular stairs. I love watching your adventures to places I will never get to.Watched the video in full gave you a like #payingitforward also watch the ads in full
Thank you so much! I appreciate you taking the time to watch everything! :) Walking up the stairs felt like walking on really thick, spongey moss. Very squishy yet firm. It was weird.
@@DowntheWrabbitHole I kind of thought it would have some kind of give to it when stepping on it. Very cool and an experience I'm glad you brought to me. Thank you for sharing #payingitforward
Who would have thought that books and water would go together 😂! I have to be honest...if I saw that organization of books, I would have left. That may be more to do with me liking things neat and organized than the place itself. I feel like I'm watching the Travel Channel top destinations or something like that. You do a great job with the narration! If they don't come calling you then I could see you doing a voice over in a cartoon movie. You got skills!
That is so very, very nice of you to say! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to do a voice in a cartoon. What a fun job that would be! If you ever meet a cartoon producer, send him or her my way! LOL
There kind of was. It was in 'sections' and kind of cheeky too. All the books in the gondola were about Venice and gondolas. LOL And they had an extensive 'adult' book section. ;)
Noooo I missed it. After I left I was reading more about Venice and came across it. I was stationed in Germany, so we'd make trips down to Italy and I was just getting into my travel research obsession.
Hi, nice video! I live 40 mins from Venice, I have been there many times and every time I find new places, soon it will be the carnival I hope I can make a video about it. I just subscribe.
You are so lucky to live near Venice and see it frequently! It truly is a beautiful city! :) Thanks for visiting my channel and I'm glad we were able to connect!
So it true a city without roads but water thats kook wow I Enjoyed looking at your video saw u on the live video im showing my love Pls lets stay Connected.
LOL - It was indeed chaotic! But so charming, you are right! Sadly, I did not get a book because they gentlemen we were with wanted to leave - you see, Lance was still on his mission to find some street pizza. Ha ha!
sometimes getting lost can be the best thing..after all isn't that what the title of your channel means? :) gotta love that book shop...that's how i found great bookshops when living in san francisco! :) so did you find a book to buy? :) great video!!!!! :)
LOL I actually didn't buy anything sadly, although I wish I had. The boys we were with kind of left quickly and I didn't have time to peruse the titles closely enough. (Lance was still on his mission for street pizza, so hanging around a bookshop wasn't in the cards for him! LOL)
A lovely video. I have never been to Venice. Looks like a great bookshop. Thank you for exchanging support on the CDH. I invite you to check out my aerial videos of Nova Scotia.
LOL I’m sure they do! It is Venice after all. This one was on my “to-do” list because of its unusual nature. There’s definitely high end shops all over Venice, especially closer to Rialto Bridge.
As soon as I walked in I saw a bookstore and a flooded street and then someone turned to the camera and she walked down the street and saw a tower. And there are 2 bridges and a guy standing on top. And there was an advertisement for the sale of books. And in the bookstore I saw a cat. And I saw her say: this bookstore is so messy. And then I saw books in the bathtub. Then there is an emergency exit leading to the canal. And then someone took the books and created a staircase. And finally when people climbed the stairs they would climb the stairs and look at the canal.
This is the most important reason for me to travel to Venice now
It was such a unique little place! I love finding out-of-the-way little sights like this when I'm travelling! :)
This is the trip that just keeps giving!! I love book shops! This is really amazing!
It was an incredible trip. When I run out of video footage from it, I have no idea what I'm going to do! LOL
That stairs case is so neat. How interesting. Thank you for sharing with us.
Have a blessed Monday!
The staircase was my favorite part! What a fabulous way to recycle old books damaged by past floods. :)
Great share! I would have never known about this if you didnt post the video! Vey cool!
It is a little hidden gem, that's for sure! :)
Wow - what a book shop. So many books. Love the unusual way it is laid out. Love the book stairs too - so quirky. This is definitely worth seeing when in Venice - thanks for showing us 😍
They definitely had a unique style - and I loved how they 'upcycled' the old and damaged books instead of throwing them out! :)
Such a cool and unique place. The stairs are really cool.
I loved that place! It was totally worth getting lost for! :)
wow that's amazing a floating boat shop! thanks for sharing these wonderful video's my friend
It was pretty cool. Right after we left Venice, the city flooded, but I can only assume that Libreria Acqua Alta was just fine! ;)
That is an awesome organizational style. haha It's a canoe of books!! I'll support their title of most beautiful bookstore in the world.
It really was unique and lovely. I loved the view of the canal from both the 'fire escape' and the wall of books too!
@@DowntheWrabbitHole Great use for old soggy books
Thank You for sharing this very unique floating bookshop with us! It is beautiful! I enjoyed the video!
It was a great find! Love those little places tucked away, just waiting for you to discover them! :)
awesome video
Thank you so much for watching! :)

Thanks for revisiting my channel! :) Pusa Studios are so awesome.
This was so fascinating! That library is really eclectic.
I would love to spend an afternoon there, just sitting in the sun and watching those gondolas float by! :)
Wow. So going there to find something specific might end up burning a day or two. Great idea to put the books in gondolas and tubs and such to avoid being destroyed by flooding. Nice little find, once you find it.
It is a really smart system, if not a little disorganized! ;) But I love the messy look of it!
nice place, I like places like that So much history and things to see. Thank you for posting and best wishes for you take care and be well
It was such a unique place! I could have spent hours in there! :)
We. Love this. And wall of book is awesome. Next to bathtub. And the books of stars is awesome. 👍👍👍👍
I loved the stairs - they felt all spongey and springy, like walking on thick moss! :)
📖 A unique and interesting place for sure! 🎬 Superb work integrating your professional narration, and contemporary audio track with your footage. A pleasure as always @Down the Wrabbit Hole Travel ☺✌
It was such a lovely bookshop; I could have stayed there for hours!
Wow, So beautiful thanks so much for sharing this with us . Have a wonderful time and be safe. 👍😀
We loved Venice so much, mostly because it is filled with little shops and small businesses like this! :)
Wow that was incredible!...
It was such a fun place to find! So unique!
here again to watch this awesome video one more time!
I'm very happy that you enjoy it! :)
I wanted to see this but we ran out of time. Next time for sure. Great to see shots of it. Venice is a maze for sure. Loved wandering and getting lost. I think we passed that square a few times one day. Wow crammed full of books. I wonder how many they actually sell. I bet it’d be neat to see it at high water. Neat stairs!
The till was really busy, so people must have been finding lots of books they liked! It was such a unique place with a really chill atmosphere! :)
Very cool! Such a unique library!
They have done a great job creating a really unforgettable ambiance there. And I love how they 'upcycled' the damaged books instead of tossing them! :)
what an interesting bookshop! I would love to visit one day :)
thanks for this wonderful video!
As soon as I read about it, I knew I had to find it and see if for myself. It was really cool! :)
Amazing bookstore a great movie.
It was really interesting! Thanks so much for watching! :)
Congratulations Marti . i am so proud of you . i just heard the great news and think it is well deserved . Bless your sweet heart.
What news? Did you find out good news about me before I did? LOL
@@DowntheWrabbitHole I heard that you were nominated for some Australian travel award thing . ???
LOL This is the first I am hearing about it. I am entering into a competition for a blogger trip to India, but people have to nominate me, maybe that was it??
But an Australian travel award would be awesome! ;)
@@DowntheWrabbitHole Pusa studios mentioned something about some nomination . And I heard the word Australia . sorry for the confusion
A floating bookshop. That is fabulous. I love the boat in the store. I have never heard of it before. I need to add it to my bucket list. Gosh how do you find a book in there.
I saw it on "Atlas Obscura" when I was researching Venice, and in that very instant, I knew I had to find it! ;)
Wow so beautiful!
It was such a neat store - not perhaps the most organize, but I don't think that's the point. :)
Venice is my girlfriend's favorite part of Europe! The second we steeped off the train we fell in love with the city!
Me too! First step onto that water taxi and I was hooked! :)
that is so cool! I would love to see that in person
It had such character. They have obviously put a lot of love into it! :)
This bookshop is amazing! Great video! Love this! Awesome! Excellent filming and editing! Best wishes, Mary and Harry 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Such a cool place - I was so happy that we were able to find it! :)
Beautiful Venice! This floating bookshop so interesting! So nice there. By the way my place 2hrs. drive to Venice.
You are so lucky to live that close! I'd love to go back to Venice again, just to soak in the atmosphere of the city some more! :)
I love books so this would be totally my thing
It had such a great atmosphere - I could have hung out in that sunny spot by the fire escape and watch gondolas go by all day. :)
Wonderful video! Thank you! I am glad was able to watch it and see what changed since I was in Venice many years ago!
This book shop definitely looks like my parents library, LOL
LOL Then I'm already in love with your parents' library! ;)
Very cool Library! TY my friend 👍💖🤗
It was crazy - mouldy books stacked into stairs, new books thrown haphazardly into boats... I LOVED IT! Ha ha!
Great video of an awesome bookshop! 👍
It was possibly the coolest bookshop I've ever been in! I loved its atmosphere! :)
Thanks for sharing.. Very different bookshop for sure lol.. Full View and Like 37..
It was very unique - not sure how people find books in that place. When you find one you like, must be like finding buried treasure! ;)
Floating book shop that's crazy and fantastic :) must be hard to find it with the narrow passageways. Venice looks so cool. Glad you eventually found it. Though how you can find a book in there is crazy lol
I have no idea how people find books there, but the till was busy so people were definitely finding treasures here and there! :)
This is really cool. Thanks for another great video. Cheers!
I'm so happy we didn't get SOOO lost that we missed it. It was a great place to find! :)
Breathtaking!
It was such a unique shop - I could have stayed for hours!
@@DowntheWrabbitHole I would of, so many wondeful books
Though I never read books, but I like this place..
It had a great atmosphere for anyone visiting, book lover or not! :)
Thank you for yet another reason for why I should go to Venice 😍 Gotta walk those book stairs sometime in real life!
It was cool to walk up the steps - they were squishy and a little springy, like walking on very thick, mossy ground! :)
@@DowntheWrabbitHole 😮😍
Something else on my bucket list
It was such a fun find! I definitely recommend searching it out if you are ever in Venice! :)
When you said it was difficult to find the library, I searched for it with Google Maps and immediately made me an itinerary up there. Just little missed to start the car and visit Venice again :)).

Thank you so much! I'm very happy you liked it! :)
Beautiful!!!🤘🏼😎
It certainly was! I could have stayed there for hours! :)
Down the Wrabbit Hole Travel oh yeah!!!💪🏼
That is such a smart way to protect the books. Is there any type of organization to the books or are they just kinda sitting in any order?
There kind of was. It was in 'sections' and kind of cheeky too. All the books in the gondola were about Venice and gondolas. LOL And they had an extensive 'adult' book section. ;)
Interesting concept. That would be hard to find a book there lol
Definitely! Although, when you found one, it would feel like scoring the jackpot! LOL
Thats pretty cool.
It was the neatest bookstore I've ever been to. I'd love to sit there on a sunny day and just watch gondolas go by! :)
I dont blame you!!
I love it!! I actually learned about this place after I visited. Great video 💖💗
So you just stumbled upon it? How awesome is that!? :)
Noooo I missed it. After I left I was reading more about Venice and came across it. I was stationed in Germany, so we'd make trips down to Italy and I was just getting into my travel research obsession.
That's no good! But sounds like you must have seen a ton of Italy! So there's that! ;)
Cool video !!! Like it
Thank YOU very much for watching! :)
Nice😍
I'm happy that you enjoyed the video! :)
Great upload keep up the good work ☝️ ☝️
That was definitely the coolest bookshop I've ever been in! :)
#like 40 excellent camera and presentations.
Thank you so much! I'm very happy you liked the video! :)
If you would want to buy a book that tells you how to build a kitchen look in the kitchen sink section lol, Loved this video again well done.
Smart! They did have it semi-organized by topic and it was funny, all the books about gondolas were inside the gondola! ;)

@@DowntheWrabbitHole Awesome
A lovely video. I have never been to Venice. Looks like a great bookshop. Thank you for exchanging support on the CDH. I invite you to check out my aerial videos of Nova Scotia.
Nova Scotia is a place that I desperately want to visit. It is so beautiful - I just know I'm going to love your channel! :)
Do they have other book shops that aren't so grungy looking?
LOL I’m sure they do! It is Venice after all. This one was on my “to-do” list because of its unusual nature. There’s definitely high end shops all over Venice, especially closer to Rialto Bridge.
As soon as I walked in I saw a bookstore and a flooded street and then someone turned to the camera and she walked down the street and saw a tower. And there are 2 bridges and a guy standing on top. And there was an advertisement for the sale of books. And in the bookstore I saw a cat. And I saw her say: this bookstore is so messy. And then I saw books in the bathtub. Then there is an emergency exit leading to the canal. And then someone took the books and created a staircase. And finally when people climbed the stairs they would climb the stairs and look at the canal.
Excellent description! Thank you for that!
