phrase "particulieren boekenmarkt"? I know that "boekenmarkt" means "book market", or "book fair" as we would say in English. But Babelfish translates "particulieren" as "individuals", leaving me none the wiser as to the distinction the phrase is drawing (retail as opposed to wholesale, maybe?), and I'm not sure where my Dutch dictionary is!

I would read it as ordinary people selling off their own books rather
than professional booksellers or publishers offloading remainders.
