This was my second time at Another Country; the first time we tried to visit on a Monday without…read morerealizing they were open Tuesday-Sunday. Blerg.
Anyway we finally made it in tonight. The staff seemed pretty enough, as in we were greeted, given general directions on their purchasing/lending rules, then free to browse without interruption.
I'd describe this store as a shitshow in the best sense of the word. I've never been in a building like this, in Germany or otherwise. The rooms were massive with 18-20 feet high ceilings and STACKED with books. The sections were categorized by fiction, crime novels, biographies and so on. In my opinion, the books were 70% basic run of the mill garage sale type books, so you really have to dig deep to find anything worthwhile.
We purchased 5 books for the whopping cost of 25.50€, and if we return them we get all of our €€€€ back, minus 1.50€ per book. Not a bad deal and for this reason, I'd definitely return!
