Thursday, May 17, 2012

In Germany, we sort of take it for granted that every bigger city has at least one traditional art book store to satisfy your craving for printed matter in art, design, architecture and photography. They are usually run by grey-haired men in cardigans and thick glasses, or ladies smelling of cheap perfume, who all know [...]
