I used to be on the first floor a lot of the time, because when I was younger I used to be into Warhammer figurines, so that was my walhalla And I've been to that book market a few times, it's certainly a good idea if you don't want to spend everything you have in Waterstone's. That store is very expensive, as you say. I bought a book there today, 40 euro's for a little thing I needed for school. Geez.... I'm only going back in there once I win the lottery
Ooh - it's always been my dream to win the lottery and then walk in there and casually tell the bookseller: Alright, how much for the lot?
Wow - 40 euro?? Schoolbooks can be soooo expensive - Had to by the two volume Norton Anthology of English Literature for 110,- guilders a volume
Luckily, in my case, my studybooks are ones that I am glad to have anyway, and plan to keep and read.
Oops - my bad - I meant the FIRST floor of course...you'll have to blame it on my age that I'm getting just a teensy bit forgetful, uhh... Kees? No, that wasn't it...Gert?

Hey - did they still have the complete OED in the basement for less that a thousand guilders?? My boyfriend's considering buying it - I keep telling him he's crazy - we don't even have room for it in our little student's flat...but it sure is tempting!
