All great photos but Acqua Alta has to be the most interesting bookstore.

It’s pretty amazing – simply random piles of books, no use of Dewey, no use of alphabet! But there are a few canoes holding books in place outside, and the books also form a staircase for a view down onto the canal. A little too unruly for the Venetian I think!

How do you find anything in there? And doesn’t the water wreak havoc with the paper?

Just wait until you see my hubby’s bookstore – you’ll never get out. In fact I struggle to get out of the house most days as many of the books end up here too!!
