A Second Home

I LOVE second hand book shops! I spent hours and hours in them when I was growing up. There is something wonderful about the excitement of not knowing what you might find and the booksellers were always happy for me to swap my used ones for theirs.

To discover this English bookstore today was a delight. Only open on the weekend it's run by an eccentric Englishman with a love of history. What a find!

Second hand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack.
