Although, some Madrid newspapers are already boasting that this year’s Madrid Antique Book Fair, traditionally know as the Antique Fall book-fair, should be called the Spring Antique book-fair, given that so far in Madrid, we are still enjoying a rather odd temperature for this time of the year: sunny and spring-like.

These types of historical artifacts are great souvenirs.
