It's funny, but I weas just emailing a friend this morning about several stores that remind me of that one that we used to visit regulasrly in England. I don't miss the hassle of getting there and having to pack up all the books to ship them home, but I sure miss the stores themselves.
One alone was a three story building crammed to the ceiling in every room with books, including thousands (literally) of old green Penguins. I never failed to take 100 or more books out of there. And they were cheap and the guy would always give you a further discount!

We're down to just a handful of used bookstores within driving distance. I try to visit them regularly and SPEND MONEY! You're right: if we don't support them, they'll fade away.
Hear, hear!
I couldn't agree more about stores like this. Thanks for sharing about this particular shop.
Chicago still has quite a few used bookstores. Thank God! Two of them have been in business for over 40 years now. I'm always excited to find used bookstores still hanging in there throughout the US.
I was in Vancouver a while ago but we never took the ferry to get to Victoria. I regret that now. Not sure if I'll ever back to B.C. I hear there are even more antiquarian bookstores of the type I like in both Victoria and Nanaimo.
Yes, I hear great things about Victoria. Maybe some day we will get back that way.
