IÐA Zimsen
If you are the type to enjoy a warm cuppa
with your new book, then IÐA Zimsen
is definitely the place to go. On a warm
summer's day you can even sit outside on
the lawn and pray it doesn't rain on you. So
comb that moustache, put on your empty
frames, wrap that scarf inventively around
you, and head on over before it becomes too
mainstream.
