Today was the beginning of the weekend's Humanities Festival at the University of Copenagen. During the afternoon, I worked with a bunch of the staff at the University's press (Museum Tusculanum) to set up the bookstore for passers-by. Surprisingly we sold a few of our most expensive titles, which in Denmark means about US$80. These were mostly hardcover specialty books, some art-related with high-quality reproductions. It was interesting to watch groups of people pass by the book table and run over to specific titles, depending on whether they were anthropologists or sociologists or other members of other disciplines.
