Τις περισσότερες ημέρες του χρόνου τα βιβλιοπωλεία ήταν κλειστά και οι περισσότεροι βιβλιόφιλοι έχασαν την αγαπημένη τους συνήθεια για βόλτα στα βιβλιοπωλεία και χάζεμα των νέων εκδόσεων. Όμως παρά τις δυσκολίες, το 2020 μας έφερε στα ελληνικά πολλές εξαιρετικές νέες επιλογές βιβλίων (Λογοτεχνικών και άλλων) ενώ και οι εικόνες "συνωστισμού" έξω από τα βιβλιοπωλεία της Αθήνας ήταν απ' τις πιο ευχάριστες στιγμές των τελευταίων μηνών.

Many volumes have been written about the contributions of the Scots to the founding of the USA. Scottish influences are found in virtually ever walk of American life, from our...2017-03-021h 01
