Report: Re-Read Second-hand Bookshop

Re- Read Second-hand Bookshop

The aim of this report is to show that reading doesn’t need to be as expensive as we thought. Some time ago I discovered that a second-hand bookshop in Barcelona called Re-Read, and as I love reading I went to have a look.

It was a small shop, all the walls full with bookshelves. In my opinion, it looked very beautiful, it was like a lot of stories were trapped in those shelves and you could feel it. And also the smell was very fragrant, like a mixed scent of new and old books. As a result of this, you could feel relaxed and happy.

Talking about the structure of the shop, I think it was a little bit chaotic. Each shelf had its own genre and type of books, and that’s great, but it seemed to me that it was disorganised. The books weren’t well placed, some of them were in horizontal and others in vertical positions, and some had their pages fold or broken. In spite of this, I believe it’s well worth buying books here, because they are very cheap! For instance, with just 3 euros you can get the book you’ve been one month waiting for!

To sum up, I think these kind of bookshops are very useful, especially if you can’t afford to buy new books every time, as in my case. My recommendation to them is that they should organise better the books and take more care of them.
