A generous note from our visiting speaker in July, Gideon Rachman.

Location
Robert's Books is at 12 Antonijas iela, in the "quiet centre" of Riga. The entrance to the shop is just around the corner, on Dzirnavu iela, across from the Alberts Hotel. Here's a Google map, with a big red pin where the shop is. We're very close to the British Embassy, and to the Jugendstil buildings on Alberta Iela.
