If
you’re a bookworm, a trip to London is pretty much the ultimate
fantasy. The centre of the English-speaking literary world, the British
capital is packed with bookshops. But it’s not just chain stores –

Looking for a first edition of Brideshead Revisited?
No problem. How about a medieval map? You can find that, too. Want to
pick up a stack of recent paperbacks – from inside a boat? Step right
this way (and mind your head).
