hello my friend,
thanks for the info. I was at the KL book fair last weekend and being surrounded with books for me is an experience taht is second to none.
Hi Rizal,
Actually I had you in mind when I chose to do this post. You often write enthusiastically about books and bookstores in your blog so I had come to the conclusion you have a passion for both.
Hello again, Louis! That is a magnificent bookstore indeed, but very posh! I wonder how conducive to browsing it really is. Proletariat that I am, give me a thrift store with dog-eared copies of Bertrand Russell and Ayn Rand any day!
Well, CO'78, bookstores tend to be very egalitarian places, even when they have snooty British names, so I am sure they'd make you feel most welcome. Besides, the citizens of Buenos Aires are very simpáticos.
