We visit the book-crazy town of La Charité-sur-Loire, France - known as the book town . Despite only having about 6,000 inhabitants, it boasts 12 antique book shops along with specialty companies for typography and calligraphy. Every third Sunday La Charité-sur-Loire holds The Old Books and Papers Fair which draws people from all over the country.
