So, I'm gonna be going to London in May and since in my country there isn't a really diverse choice of english books in bookstores, I have the intention of buying a lot. Since I'm naturally not going to have a shit load of cash I'll be looking for cheap bookstores and used bookstores. Can anyone recommend such to me so I now where to go beforehand.

You're doing it seriously wrong, man. This is why the Kindle exists, along with IRC.

In central London, look around Charing Cross rd. Has loads of second hand bookstores, some specialist, some general, plus Foyles, which is bloody huge and amazing, although obviously there you'll have to pay full price.

and somehow, not even Foyles carries most of the Finnegans Wake guides

This man is right. Have a wander around Charing Cross and Soho to find a fuck load of used book shops.

I'm also buying a KIndle, but I'm going to have money left. Paper's aways better and it's battery ain't gonna die after the end of the world.

Yeah, London has tons of used book stores in Soho/Charing X (and they have BOOB SECTIONS). Also, check out the Waterstones and Hatchards on Piccadilly b/c those bookstores are fucking game changers. I sit in the Waterstones on Pdly for hours on end some days. Also, in London there are hot girls in bookstores. It's sci-fi shit. Bring a condom.

Fuck yeah!

[Anonymous No.2491667]

How are you going to get those books home OP?

[Anonymous No.2491702]

They're not gonna be that many. I was just intending on buying a kindle, several books and maybe some other geek memorabilia or something, probably a cheap TV series because in my country nobody sells tv series. Probably whatever I buy on paper's gonna be something that has santimental value to me as a title, so as I said, gettin them hom won't be a problem.

[Anonymous No.2491711]

What a nice series. I came to love his nemisis more though.

Fuckin' A right he doesn't have the power or the glory. Or the Doherty. The power of Al lies partially in the quality of his henchmen.

You know the second Dan went off to run his own hotel his loyalty over all those years would mean nothing to Al. He would just be another competitor. Feels badass, man.
