Yesterday at the Book Fair...

as well as some curiosities in the traditional book hunting...

Le Mur Oberkampf... oups !

... well, featured by "Echafaudage de France".



















In fact, Le Mur needed to be freshen up and the lifting will take about 2 months...


Between now and then you can enjoy some other
