There is an amazing bookstore in Yangon, Myanmar, that I so wish I had taken some photos of. Nearly impossible as it was for them to access books (this was almost ten years ago), they stocked (and stacked and stacked) an enormous collection of books they had copied and then handsomely bound themselves (in black and green boards, with a green ribbon marker)—including hundreds of rare, out-of-print editions on Burmese history and religion and folklore. I bought half a dozen, despite the fact that I had to haul them around for many weeks in my otherwise minimal luggage.
