Here's a shot I snapped at the famous Acqua Alta bookstore in Venice. The crowd had thinned for just long enough for meet to take this picture. It was right about closing time in late November, and it was so crowded you couldn't move. I'd love to go back there when things aren't so crowded (which, I suspect, isn't a time).
The notion is that by stacking the books in a gondola it reduces the chance that they'll be ruined when the waters rise (although, I suspect, it's more for the eye of the tourist than reality).
