The reason Barnes & Noble in Inner Harbor looks particularly interesting, is that it is built inside a former power plant with part of its interior intact. The store offers a cafe, views over the harbour from the second level, a small aquarium, an audiovisual section, gifts and, of course, loads and loads of books – all displayed around some of the power plant’s original features. And although it is part of a larger complex of shops and restaurants, it takes a bookstore with a distinct steampunk feel to produce such a winning combination.

I think I’ve had a brew at this complex – it is lovely on a late summer afternoon!

We saw the bookstore only, the rest of the complex seeming too vast for our taste, we just walked around it but didn’t stop anywhere else 🙂
