What a day for a daydream by fishers

What a day for a daydream

This kind of street stall lines the Seine, particularly around the Louvre area, with second hand, rare and sometimes valuable books being sold. This particular street seller looked rather chilled out, and you have to wonder whether he reads all the books before he sells them! - Lucy

I bet he reads them all. Cool shot.

As soon as I saw this photo it took e straight back to my trip to Paris in 2009. I saw some awesome books on these stalls.

Looks like a treasure-trove for a book-worm. Well spotted and captured.

This seems like a great job - as long as the sun is shining - lovely shot.

Great shot!

@stevepam Thanks Steve and Pam. Yes, in the rain sometimes they put plastic over, but there's like a little roof on their huts which provides quite a bit of protection. A tedious job in the rain though! - Lucy
