This is the interior of my favorite bookstore in Luxembourg, you might even say it is on my top 10 of the best bookstores. You find lots of stuff, and I never leave this place without at least one new book! (maybe less than 7 times I walked out there without a book, but only because I was out of time)
The place is called Fellner Art Books and is centrally located in the old city, only a few footsteps away from the grand ducal palace (you actually have breathtaking views onto it from their front door.
You wouldn't believe the hours as well as the sums of money I left in this store! There was a time during my last school years in Luxembourg , when I would pay this place a daily visit, and also a daily buy! Sometimes I would even have to make 2 trips to the car to get the books into the trunk... the current state of my book collection could tell you... I have no space left to put them anymore, but I still buy and buy. Who could resist those prices?It's like a summer sale orgy at Chanel, only with books!
Their Luxembourgish books section is an impressive collection of many written testimonies of my country's literate musings. And the African sculpture collection is as impressive. Note the bottle holder in the above picture, the same one Marcel Duchamp used in one of his Ready-Mades...

The architecture and urbanism section is the best in the country, and many books are already sold half price. You absolutely have to check out this fabulous heavenly place! You won't leave empty handed. Oh, and say hello to the owner's dog sleeping at the entry.Labels: Luxembourg, Magazines and books, shopping
