  I stumbled across this place on my way to Buda Castle. This is a fantastic second-hand shop; one room with books on shelves floor to ceiling. Don't go in expecting an itemized inventory. The books are sorted by subject and somewhat by history, but beyond that you're on your own. The owner honestly doesn't mind if you spend an hour (or more) rummaging through the shelves to see what strikes your fancy. He has a limited number of first editions but mostly it's older books collected over the years. If you're into older books and more obscure first-hand sources, I can't recommend this place highly enough.
