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....'
