Recordist's notes
Boekhandel Dominicanen. A desecrated church is transformed into a vast library and in the apse, to a bar. It's rare enough (and what a decay) to highlight the sound of this kind of place. Walk in the establishment, elsewhere diehard. In 2008, the bookstore was ranked first in the ranking of the ten most beautiful bookstore in the world.
