    No daylight or fresh air enters this vast sepulchre of 200,000 old books. Prices and quality are variable and some sections seem to have a lot of fading unsold remainders (anyone familiar with their Charing Cross Road Quinto store will know what to expect) but its a fine place to get lost or buried. Not recommended for claustrophobes. - George Marshall 03.11.09.

    Mostly remainders at Central London prices managed by grumpy staff. - George Marshall 03.11.09.
