There was once a better bookstore, but the war and fire destroyed a significant part of the premises. Today, many of the books have a pronounced burning smell, and in general, the store has a persistent smell of fire. The desire to purchase books immediately disappeared, besides, prices are significantly higher than marketplaces, discounts are only on completely dead books.
A large selection of literature, prices, considering the cost of transportation, are reasonable. (Although I won't deny that some products have biting price tags).
