Hi,
I am wondering whether anyone can recommend a good flea market (kirppis) in the Helsinki area which is popular with immigrants. I am always looking for decent books (in English) to read and the second-hand bookshops don't seem to have that many (and they tend to be expensive when they do).
We've also got quite a lot of stuff that could be off-loaded so any recommendations would be appreciated.

An online site particularly to those not in Helsinki area is antikvaari.fi
https://www.antikvaari.fi/hakukone?teki ... =30&sivu=1
(that search is for "crime fiction")
They cover the main "divari"s in Finland. (a divari is a shop selling second hand books)
The Finnish Red Cross Kontti is very popular among foreigners but not necessarily only english speakers... I think they have books also but not sure.
