Great photos! Amazing that you saw those rare books! Although I’m from the UK, it’s over 20 years since I was last in London and remember visiting Foyles. There was also a very good store devoted to the crime genre called’Murder One’ and I also used to like the Forbidden Planet store down New Oxford Street. I will likely visit London next year so thanks for sharing your discoveries which will be a great help.
You may have just convinced me - ‘there is a reason to visit the UK’ I Would love to see what you brought back to Franklin
And you,my dear, finally convinced me to make my own Substack account so I could read this! (And if you go to the UK I want to come) :)
Thank you for this post. Will definitely be visiting Peter Harrington and Sokol - never heard of them before.
