You can smell the history in this old curiosity shop; set just a few meters from the gates of the university, this antiquarian bookstore has a rich stock of dusty tomes piled higgledy-piggledy on towering shelves. The tendency is to lose track of time while browsing, and that especially applies to those with a fascination for pre-war maps, manuscripts, postcards and cultural texts. Although Polish is the dominant language, English-language texts are also present and procurable in this hoarder’s heaven.
