Books of Hungary

Budapest keeps its reading life in business through an English-language café bookshop and an antiquarian, while a bindery nearby makes its own notebooks. Massolit Books & Café mixes new and secondhand English-language books with coffee as an independent Budapest fixture. Központi Antikvárium guards Budapest bookselling's memory, with maps and manuscripts among its paper goods. Lúd Labor handbinds notebooks and planners on site beside its paper goods. Hungarica hides among imported paperbacks, and the window display tells you nothing about what is inside.
