bookstalls
Outdoor reading stands
Bookstalls are small stands or booths where books are sold, typically outdoors or in public spaces.
You might browse bookstalls at a street market, train station, or along a riverbank: the bookstalls along the Seine.
The word evokes secondhand books and casual discovery rather than formal retail.
