008_al fresco bookshop


[Bandung] You may think there is nothing special about a roadside bookstall. Well, not for this one. Books and magazines here are displayed directly under the sun. Many of them have been exposed to sunlight for so long that the colours on the cover have all faded. Though the stall owner can get all these for very cheap but later they will have to be discarded unless offered at a very very low price. (It is already very low on their usual prices for imported magazines.) Imagine Barack Obama looking like Michael Jackson on the cover of Time Magazine. Would you buy that?
