"Since opening in December, the bookshop has become popular among students, academics and expats, especially for its fair pricing system – which sees English language books on sale for the same cost as in the west. Set up by three friends with a fascination for the English language, Nicolae Ion, Dan Nicolaescu and Vlad Niculescu, the shop is located in an arcade opposite the Kretzulescu Church on Calea Victoriei, around the corner from the Orange Concept Store.
One of the store’s unique selling points is helpful staff who know what they are talking about. For browsers, this makes the experience of speaking to shop assistants a pleasure rather than an act of public humiliation."

just read your blog, would like to put you right. the bookshop is named after myself, not Anthony Frost the artist. I have been a friend of the owners for 17 years, I first met Dan when i came over on aid trips and he was an interpreter. If you are in Bucaresti I will be arriving 24th April until 28th, contact me at the bookshop. Anthony Frost
what`s the deal? which Anthony Frost are you talking about afterall?
Raluca, Bucharest
*btw, really interesting blog you`ve got
raliu, the misunderstanding has been solved via email..
Antony Frost, the bookstore, has nothing to do with Antony Frost, the English artist.
The owners just decided to name the bookstore after a friend who just happens to bear the same name as the artist. Hopefully that clears it all up.
*and thanks. We're really glad you like the blog :)
