Tucked away in a quiet part of Yerevan is a small second hand bookshop. Located in a former cigarette and cigar store, the shop has retained a beautiful old interior of carved wooden fixtures and fittings. However, there are very few books. The English 'section' had just five books including a substantial Finnish/English dictionary and Linda Goodman's Star Signs for 2010 - which is handy if you want to see how your 2010 turned out against Ms Goodman's horoscope predictions.
I asked an Armenian friend about the bookshop but he didn't know the place and when I said that it must be almost impossible to make money out of such a shop, he merely shrugged smiled and replied 'Maybe they don't sell books and sell something else....'
