There has been a second hand bookstall here under the Mancunian Way on Oxford Road for as long as I can remember. A pop-up bookstore if you will, well before "pop up" was a fashionable term. Selling vinyl as well as paper, the books on offer range from text books to travel books, modern novels to literary classics. It's a great venture to support and there's always something interesting to browse or buy- it can usually cheer up any Monday blues anyway.
Timely too, to mention the 6th Manchester Literature Festival which starts today and runs to 23rd October. The Manchester blog awards on the 19th are also part of this literary feast:

Love this kind of "store". We don't have them in DC but I have seen them in many other places. Great shot Chrissy.
ReplyDeleteTo spend hours at. Once I found books aged over a hundred years in an alike sale.
