book stall

Outdoor reading vendor

A book stall is a small stand or booth where books are sold, typically outdoors or in a market setting.

The term is more common in British English, where it often refers to vendors along streets or in open-air markets: browsing the book stalls along the Seine.

In American English, the similar structure inside a building is usually called a bookstand or book kiosk.
