Era uma vez uma, nos Países Baixos, uma cidade-livraria chamada Bredevoort. Esta cidade, no cantinho dos Países Baixos e bem próxima da Alemanha, estava a desertificar e para que voltasse a renascer, começou a organizar mercados de livros, como por exemplo, o mercado internacional, onde ainda hoje, podes encontrar muitos livros, sobretudo em alemão e inglês...
Em Bredevoort, todos são amigos dos livros. Há estantes ao ar livre, junto aos principais antiquários e livrarias, que continuam cá fora, mesmo quando as lojas fecham. E aí acontece magia, podes continuar a comprar livros: retiras o que quiseres da estante e colocas o dinheiro na caixa. A esta magia chama-se Honesty Bookshop...
Bredevoort:
" Booktown started in 1993 as a private initiative to bring the historic centre back to life. Now it has over 30 antiquarian & second-hand bookshops, art galleries and studios. Bredevoort Booktown has been honoured with many national and international awards. It is one of the founding members of the Association of International Booktowns and has a partnership with the art-village Schöppingen, in the Munster area. Bredevoort Booktown’s Committee of Recommendation has renowned members. If you want to support this project you can become a ‘Friend’.
Regularly there are small cultural events: concerts in the 16th century church, exhibitions, writer’s lectures, workshops and the “Gondelvaart”.

That's it! I'm going to visit this town soon ;-)
Oh dear!!! You don't know what you've done with this post... I'll be there every week from now on!
I'd never heard about this town. And I love reading so much - every time we go to visit some place new, we always end up going into a bookshop, especially if they sell second hand books. Books and shoes... shoes and books... love them! :o)
Thanks a lot for sharing this!
