The Librairie Mollat in Bordeaux, France has amassed 21,000 followers
Its employees have become popular for posting comical pictures
They match up perfectly and even wear similar clothes so that they look alike
An independent book store in France is giving a whole new meaning to the term 'Facebook' - thanks to its playful staff's antics behind the scenes at work.
The Librairie Mollat keeps its 21,000 followers entertained on Instagram by bringing book covers to life, with staff mirroring the exact poses seen on the front of their favourite tomes.
The Librairie Mollat became the first independent bookstore in Bordeaux when it opened in 1896 - and more than a century on customers are as entertained by the staff as they are by the extensive selection of reading material on offer.

The cheeky photographs show employees posing with an array of book covers and they all match up perfectly.
One woman, for example, poses with a book by author Charlaine Harris that makes her look as though she is the vampire depicted on the front cover - with her blood-red nails adding to the effect.
Another employee took advantage of an all-white outfit to replace their own head with that of the Queen on the cover of the book Her Majesty.
It's not known who mans the tills at the store while staff are posing for the snaps, but it's unlikely the owners mind as their efforts have garnered the Librairie Mollat an enormous Instagram following.
