The used book café of Le Bal Infernal in Gent is the property of Ericx and Bieke Lambrecht. At this café, which presents an original concept, where one can enjoy a drink, a bite to eat and read in peace and quiet. Anyone frequenting Le Bal Infernal can acquire one of the thousands of books aligned on the shelves for only 2 euros, or one can bargain for a book according to the rules of book exchange (bring one, take one). Customers who bring in a book they have read are invited to write their name, date and a brief message on the flyleaf and leave it there for other patrons. The cosy interior has been signed by the interior design studio Not Before Ten, whose designers came up with the idea of dividing the area into two: an inner zone with counter and tables and a large room with a huge bookcase that faces the street, making it brighter and ideal for reading.
