| Description: | A man is standing in front of a bookshop. He is looking to the left and smiling vaguely. His left hand is in his trouser pocket. He is wearing a suit. The shop window behind him is filled with books. A billboard annouces that novels can be borrowed, too. A series of portrait photographs are pasted on the shop window, mostly of women who are probably film or theatre stars. |
| Comment: | The picture appeared in the context of an article in the column ‘Halkın Sözü’ (People's voice), which on this day posed the question: ’Do the people read? ’. The man on the picture is Niyazi Bey, owner of the bookshop with the name ‘Revolution’. He stated that mostly young people bought his books and that he seldom had middle-aged customers. |
