If I saw that here, I'd be browsing too!
Now I'm curious: anybody can just set up there? Or do you need to get a permit from somewhere first?
quite interesting place
It does look like they arranged the books extra neatly!
I've bought several books from these guys - tho sometimes they're not that cheap!
Nice outdoor display - I wonder how much profit they make from this. Looks kind of cold to be selling outside.

have a look when you get a chance :)
We both have fountain posts today. I like the way yours is used a lot better. I would have a field day here! I'm having a wonderful time just browsing - I'll have to make a request from my aunt's relatives for some titles. My mom went to the Filosofski Fakultet to study English Lit in late 40s/early 50s & my dad went to the engineering school for Mining engineering. It's where they met. I've been meaning to dig up an old photo & ask for photo of that area now. Thanks for this post!

Merry Christmas!
My other half was interested in this picture: his mother worked in this back building once upon a time...
