You can find all the books of the world in the Istanbul second-hand (SAHAFLAR) book stalls....I spent days and days in the passage close to our house (ASK ME FOR DIRECTIONS ) ..asking to myself how a special book could have get here from Italy, France , England ....This is one of the best relaxing way to let yourself go to the city ...tracing the readers and the pages trough the centuries ....

The most famous second -hand  books places are in Beyoglu, in Beyazit and in Kadikoy...
