Hi, Jan!

That will be much appreciated! I don't know if I could spare some time from PSI fair this January to get to Koln. But nevertheless. Is it situated somewhere near the train stations?

Re: Bookstores in Dusseldorf
 

Yes,

it is within walking distance from main train station. I will ask my friend for exact address. I saw it, but the shop was closed (I found it in early evening).

If you will have some more time in center, I reccomend Roman museum:

www.museenkoeln.de

The museum was built on the walls of a Roman villa which was discovered in 1941 and which contained the world-famous Dionysos mosaic. The discovery was done during construction excavations related to air raid shelter. The mosaic is spectacular.

I was in Koeln a few years ago and the big Mayersche Buchhandlung store (on the Neumarkt) had a decent military section, including a lot of Motorbuch Verlag stuff.

Also, check out bookshops in general for books about the war period or "Die NS-Zeit" (National Socialist era) in that particular town or region. I've seen some interesting ones.

concerning Düsseldorf-there is a good sorted bookstore at the airport near the visitors terrace;
they had several rare books in store when I last visited them last year-amongst them the ultra rare (at least here in Austria) Chris Goss book "Brothers in Arms" for a mere 25 Euros;

so if you need a good store in DüDo, just have a look there :)
