Really interesting zabadak, thanks. I started bookselling 32 years ago and have been based at the same shop (a chain, bought by another chain, but treated by locals like an indie) for 23. Currently on 'furlough' due to current situation and shop shut. I can't recall the last time I went on a bookshop trawl in London, but it was a hell of a long ago; probably in the 80s when I tried to cram in records, books and clothes before grabbing a train back to Bournemouth. Physical books. Physical records.

I don't buy many books (or anything these days) but I like looking around bookshops. Daunt in Marylebone is a good example! :happy:
