At last! Someone sensible. If you get the library app you can scan any book in the shop and find that nine times out of ten they have it. You can reserve it to your local library then you get an email saying its waiting for collection. You can renew via the app if you haven't finished. Unless you keep every book keep your money.... When i go book shopping i rarely spend a penny. I book it on the spot and go home with loads of books. Way beyond my budget. And i dont have to carry them home....Too much info? Well thats being sensible for real. I have saved thousands and really bumped up my reading.....😊

Left London in 2013 and this brought some nostalgia of all the bookshops I went while I was there. Daunt Books in Maryleborne was always my favourite (particulalry since it was quite near where I lived!). Never went to the Serpentine Gallery (though all Muaeums in London have good bookshops, Tate Modern in particular) and the one in Chelsea is a hidden gem indeed. Personal favourites I recommend are Hatchards in 187 Picadilly (big, central and well stocked with an old-school look) and London Review Bookshop (14-16 Bury Place). The latter is petite but well lit and with a coffeshop next too it. At that is right near the Bristish Museum and you're in intellectuial heaven.... Happy New Year from Costa Rica!!!

But alas, they have almost all gone ! Such a shame, but it is just too expensive to run such a business in the London area in.
