book stalls

Outdoor reading shops

Book stalls are small outdoor stands or booths where books are sold, typically secondhand.

They line riverbanks in Paris, cluster in market squares, and appear at fairs and festivals.

The term also refers to permanent kiosks in train stations or airports selling newspapers, magazines, and paperbacks: She browsed the book stalls along the Seine.
