Oh, the memories!

I haven't been to Foyles for ages (decades!), but it always used to be a required stop on my rare visits to London. In these days of internet shopping, the bookshop that has *everything* is no longer the treat that it used to be, but back then it was a real joy. The nearest thing to "L-space" (one for the Pratchett fans) I've come across.
