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.....😊

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 KZbin + 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.... Happy New Year from Costa Rica!!!
