The quiz owes its origin to the Paperback Exchange, an inviting bookstore in Florence, Italy. The questions appeared in an advertisement, The Ultimate Reading Device, the bookstore placed in Florence’s English Language newspaper.
The store is located on a typical narrow street near the center of Florence. Let’s go inside.
Places to read abound.
There is one other English Language bookstore in Florence. Be ready for the next pop quiz. Hint: recently, it was almost forced to close.

Richard,
I have taken to reading some of your older posts on Florence. Your photos and writings are a wonderful distraction for what is now going on in Israel.
Thank you.
Thank you, Sheila. I share your sorrow and have read how it has united your country, at least for the moment.
