A detail from an image of a book shop from Johann Amos Comenius: "Orbis sensualium pictus", pinted in 1658 in Nuremberg. You see a room full of boxes and backwardsbooks and a (tiny) bookseller reading behind a desk waiting for customers.

Expect, among other bookish stuff, lots of #backwardsbooks, and boxes with paper sheets, and a few sleeping dogs.
