London's best bookshop, now no more.

I guess I should have also said not fictional.
And you're in Melbourne - have you been to either of those two? I think you mentioned Minotaur in another thread once, so they're just on the other end of Bourke.

no, Ive probably wandered past though. To be honest I rarely shop for books at anywhere but borders or minotaur : /

actually thats not true, I like the esoteric book shoop in murrumbeena and spellbox in the city too :P David at the esoteric book shop is terribly sweet and lovely.

but I guess you have to be into that kind of thing.

Atlantis is a great esoteric bookshop in London's west end. It's a must-visit whenever I'm in the area. I spunked an absolute fortune on an Arthur Machen hardback a couple of weeks ago.

I cant find a picture of that wonderful chaotic beauty of a bookstore I were at, the last time I visited my beloved paris...damn damn damn
its just a few meters across the street from the beat-hotel

I prefer libraries. This one in particular.

 

I havent been there, but wow they carry a lot of tarot decks(if they have all the ones listed on the website). That's cool.

but so many people have touched the books. in their homes. and probably on teh toilet. :( and other things. :(
