I'm addicted to books. I design them, I hug them, I go to the library and buy books in nice and cosy bookstores. Sometimes I'm looking for old books at flea markets and at the bookmarket at the ajuinlei. I'm mostly looking for books about art and design, it's pretty rare that I buy a novel, most likely it's the well designed cover that made me buy it.
Copyright is a bookstore I visit regularly. They have a big collection of art, design, architecture and photography books. When I'm looking for a specific one about graphic design or photography, there's a great chance I'll find it here. I love to come here just to rummage through the stacks of books, smell the scent of the paper (no, I'm not a freak) and discover a great and beautiful addition to add to my collection.
