Ah ok, I did not know this, thanks for correcting. Indeed Tescos sometimes have highly discounted books or book sets. And now they are everywhere... Except academic, antiquarians and specialists, such as Botswell in Oxford, probably helped by the Uni proximity, I do not know a lot of small bookshops there.
