Just Up the Road from the Sunday Market: Bouquinistes, or Used Book Sellers

The Sunday market goes halfway up the main part of the quai along the Saone, and for another two hundred meters after that the bouquinistes peddle their used books. During the week, they keep their collections in the metal cabinets that you can maybe see in the center of the picture. These cabinets are attached to the bridge along the quai and (I assume) are locked.

However, there are no real bargains to be found here, as the cheapest books (even paperbacks) start at around 3-5 EUR and some larger books can even command prices in the 10 EUR range.
