There is a market place there called Kopali Charchi (the covered bazaar) and you will find lots of books and records in the old language. If you are planning a trip, let me know, I want to go but my wife wont . Al Menashe Thanks Al, I'm going to Istanbul this Wednesday--but I'm afraid I won't get much out of records in Turkish! I thought maybe I'd try to find weird phonographs--which I seem to be collecting these days. But I was hoping to get the name of a phono shop or collector so that I didn't have to wander through all 5480 shops in the Grand Bazaar! ---Art Heller ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
