      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.....😊

    @ Simon Lake, I totally agree with you. In the 1970's & 80's there were some fantastic second hand bookshops, especially in & around the Charing Cross Road area, at least 6 or 7. 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.

    In the 80s I owned Blitzgeist Bookshop in Harborne B'Ham, primarily as a collector - hence, in my large Italian villa near Dolcedo, Liguria, I house 1000s of books, with weekly upgrades. I began my 2nd collection [maths, philosophy, logic etc] in 1961 as I worked in bookshops on Tottenham Court Road & Charing Cross Road & sold it off circa 1982. I also collect artworks & my gallery can be seen by tapping in Dolcedo Art of the Thunderbolt on TH-cam + there's a BBC film The Lost Genius, both of which display a few of my precious volumes. I also create my own books & I've written the largest illustrated volume since Leonardo over 50 years in the making - it's vast & with my small handmade books, which are completely OTT & uncensored., I constantly add to. My volume The Autobiography of God Almighty was published in 2003 & my volume Cogitatio is published on Academia.edu along with various papers. Books are IT!

    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....

    Appreciated would be an adult gentleman's video of bookstores with technical content: sciences, engineering, computers, vehicles, finance, real estate, architecture, fashion, politics, and law. Bits of history, photography, philosophy and mathematics would be good too. Best textbooks and references for any of these subjects are on topic, including specialties such as medicine, programming, and construction. Yes, these probably are a bit away from your usual path, but consider that most exciting word -- research!

    I just discovered your channel. Love it. I am so jealous of the bookshops, we don't have anything that comes close in Athens.

    I’m going to uni in Bloomsbury, London (a book lover’s dream!) so when I make my commute, I will definitely go and check out these bookstores! Thank you for growing my “bookstore” map!

    Someone who pronounces Marylebone correctly! (Unlike me 😕)
    I really like the Bloomsbury Waterstones, nicely ramshackle and rambling.
    You don't necessarily need to read a book, just stick it on your bookshelf and osmosis will occur.

      She doesn't pronounce it correctly. She says "MAR-lebone". It should be "MARRY-leb'n".

    Great work, Emma. I will visit them the next time I visit London. Did you happen to drop in at Black Gull Books in Camden Market? I picked up two Greenes from there. Nice, quaint place.

    Liberia in East London (Shoreditch) is the cutest book shop! I loved it, and the shop assistants helped me get a book ! X

    Little known facts - I went to Daunts in about 1983 when it was a second hand shop, where I bought an algebra book written around 1890 (maybe by Smith). Inside at the back on the blank pages (books then sometimes left such pages for reader notes), was handwritten a full index of contents.
    Near the front of the book was the owner's name and station: Petty Officer(?) Soandso of HMS Whatsitsname. Presumably he wrote the index when he had some time to burn.
    A month or two later, walking by the Thames I saw the same ship inscribed on a WW1 memorial listing those ships that had served.
    Today I wouldn't go near Daunts: collosal prices, although it is still worth a visit for its elegant architecture. There is an Oxfam bookshop a few doors away on Marylebone High Street with reasonable prices and a better selection.
