This was a really great used bookshop way down Istikial Street from Taksim Square. They had a…read morereally interesting collection of books and a vast assortment of maps, pictures postcards and other ephemera. While the shop was not all that large, although I did not get to go in what appeared to be an upstairs section, there was plenty to look at, and I found myself wishing I had much more time to look for the jewels I knew must be hidden amongst it shelves. At one point I switched from looking at books [and believe me it was painful to do this] to looking at framed Arabic calligraphy, that was hanging on the wall, because I am trying to acquire various examples of calligraphy from different periods of history when ever I can afford to do so. Anyway I very probably would have gotten a book, calligraphy or some other item if I had had just a little bit more time to look before deciding, I don't like feeling too rushed when making decisions, so opted out reluctantly. I was hoping I would either get back here or find another really great used bookstore in Istanbul or some of the other cities we visited in Turkey. As it was I noted carefully as I could the location and name so I could find it on line if possible and write this review. As a lover of books I would love to go here again.
