sack of London book shops

[mcbishop]

I can only really speak for Edinburgh, but things don't look too good over here at the moment. Of the big chains, Waterstones is dominant in Auld Reekie (they had two stores last time I looked) and the previously excellent James Thins has now been subsumed within the Blackwell empire and roundly trashed - about half the stock they used to have and most of it very predictable.The bookshop in the National Museum in Chambers Street is probably a better bet, although I haven't been in there since they moved it around (again - it ought to be on rollers). There are quite a lot of antiquarian book dealers, if you hunt around, but I guess that's not what you're really after.<br>

If you want to die a bookie death, go to Oxbow in Oxford!<br>
