What a brilliant list! I feel like you’ve given away all the secrets, but at the same time I love you for sharing them. The Amnesty Bookshop Kentish Town is my absolute dream – I have to ration my visits as I always find so many good things there. My secret tip is the RSPCA shop on Caledonian Road – three bookshelves with regularly changing stock. Used to be 50p a paperback, £1 a hardback, tho’ they’ve gone up slightly now to £1 and £2. My other recent find is the books stall at Archway market, outside the station, on Saturdays, which is run by a lady who also works at the Book Barge at Kings X (Word on the Water). Oh, and if you’re there then the Crisis charity shop is amazing and also has a good book selection. I can’t cope with Judd and all the ‘excuse-me’ ing, I feel constantly stressed I’m in someone’s way. But also can’t keep away as always find things there. Aren’t we lucky to live in a city with so many wonderful places to buy books. Oh, and I’ve never been to St. Giles as only found out about it recently, but my great love is the bi-annual Keats’ Library book sale in Hampstead. I’ve never been and not come away with at least 10 books. x
