I never knew Redu is the book capital of Belgium.
Never knew there is a town called Redu.
Wow, [this might be the least appealing book shop photo](https://arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/O2G2AEDDPQI6ZG2ROEY7UGIMLY.jpg) I ever saw.
Redu or mostly overpriced second hand books.
But you can sometimes find very old books that aren’t published anymore if you are ready to pay the price.
