@sugarmuser Thank you Sharon, it was taken last year, you had to be invited in because the books sold for a lot of money, we didn't go in, to rich for me.

That looks like a real book shop, the sort that would have been shut down by the inquisition. Great find.

I wonder If there is any real hidden knowledge in their? Near me is a literary and philosophical society library and it costs nearly £200 a year to join but the have some very old restricted books available for loan. I am saving to join, partly for my love of photography, partly for my love of reading but mostly because I hate to miss out!!

@justeddie Eddie, some books cost over £2000, and some first editions of children s books even more.

@hasselhotch @gabsview Thank you, Sorry about telling you how it smells, I have never been able to smell so I can't tell you. I love to do my Garden but can not smell the flowers or food.
