Booktrader's stock is 50% Danish and 50% English/American, offering an ample selection of English-language titles in an otherwise difficult and expensive city regarding book shopping. Though the fellow that runs the shop might be quite an odd ball with his wild beard and trademark hermit look, you couldn't ask a more knowledgeable person for advice when it comes to trying to uncover obscure and hard-to-find books housed within the plethora of old publications. Booktrader carries titles addressing the human sciences only, specializing in subjects like history, art, philosophy and literary criticism. The prices are fair and you might easily get away with a bargain. Looking around the shop always makes for an intriguing experience, as the space at times also boasts some surprising art exhibitions and a beautiful alphabet installation consisting of the letters A-Z rendered on old book-covers. It took the hermit seven years to complete this collection, and we're grateful for his time and effort. /system/photos/0032/0307/booktraderr_thumb.jpg 2009-10-19T13:52:38+02:00 Copenhagen Shop 320307 Morten C.
