But do you know what’s really cool? Yesterday Boyfriend and I were wandering in London, and we ended up here. It’s the shop! The Black Books shop! And it’s really a bookshop too!

Unfortunately it was also a closed bookshop. But in the window there was this little beauty: what looks like an early edition of The Waves by Virginia Woolf.

I did also manage to visit an open bookshop while I was in the area. The London Review Bookshop on Bury Place (the Black Books shop is on Leigh Street). I was very good and didn’t buy a thing, though there was much to be tempted by. I’m trying to restrain my book buying self at least until after Christmas.
