8 FLOORS! I need to go there at some point of life. Bookstores here aren't very good (plus books have VAT here), so I often go to Argentina to buy good and cheap books.
Ahahahaha, Nori knows me very well, I think!! In Greece we have a saying "from your mouth, to Gods ear" Nori. Means that may this wish you said, will come true one day!!
I avoid Chilean bookstores as much as possible because they are expensive (even more for a student's pocket) since we are a small country, so most books have to be imported from Argentina or Spain. Plus, the exchange rate is really good. If I need a book, I either buy it secondhand, or, to my disgrace, I photocopy it or buy an illegal copy. I only hope that the candidates for the upcoming presidential election promise to take out taxation on books.
Athens, the capital of Greece, with more than 3.000.000 people.... It's not just ancient ruins and pollution. Its' also the suburbs, everyday people, gardens, bitter orange trees.
This is the ground floor of the Eleftheroudakis bookshop,

Great place - one I'd have to explore! And a stop at the coffe/treat bar!
Cristobal: you go to another country to buy books? unbelievable...
Lemon apparentely wants to have a book store after her retirement...
And a half of those books will be old historical Japanese books, I think!

Oh yes, that is indeed heaven!
I almost missed this post with all these revealing details. Eight floors of books would be interesting even in a language I barely can spell...
I love Eleftheroudakis :-)
