Albert Costa, 83, did not want his books to end up in a flea market so opened his own shop in Barcelona
In his late 70s, Albert Costa spent 10 days in a coma after a massive heart attack. When he woke up, one thing was clear: he would sell his life’s collection of books.
There was a catch, however. Costa’s bookshop would not sell its products at their market value, but at a price he personally felt they were truly worth.
