Original Toronto Star caption: Booksellers do a brisk business in a city that is more Bohemian than most in Communist lands. Even avant garde art is tolerated and the city is full of street-corner artists selling their works; many of them at extremely low prices. What with sidewalk cafes; the artists and the booksellers; Cracow has a pleasantly Parisian atmosphere.
