Thanks for the comment Gabriela; this was taken from inside the shop actually, but due to poor lighting and the shallow dof, the quality suffered a bit, making it look like it was shot thorugh glass.
I love this sort of shops too, where you can really smell the old paper smell. This particular one in Hampstead in Great London was quite hard to move into it was so cluttered, but the owner still seemed to know where everything was. And they had thousands of books.
I love this one!!! Books and reading are my favourites!!! So, browsing in bookstores would be my favourite passtime, only that here one can hardly find bookstores with books in English or other languages. One has to travel long and hard to find such a store!You captured it through glass, but you did it very well! Best regards, Gabriela
