There was another neat bookstore in London's theater district. It was raining
when I was there, so have no idea which direction was north, but I think one
of the "Tube-way outs" came up around the Hippodrome theater. The store was
across the street and behind in a small alley. Someone else will know what I
am talking of or I have name and street address at home in a file. I'll look
it up tonight.
Oh, there was also a remainder book store with an automotive section down near
St Pauls cathedral. Might be a good place to look for an out of print book. I
probably have the name of it in file too.

Sciolto2@aol.com is looking for a book store in London.
I don't remember if any of the shops I visited had old books, but, you may
want to try them. There was a shop that specialized in auto art on one of
the east/west streets, and a shop that carried a large variety of scale
models on a north/south street somewhere in the area between Haymarket &
Drury Lane, & Strand & Shaftsbury. I believe the art shop advertises in one
of the British car mags. If they don't carry books, they may be able to
direct you to someone there who does.
If you ever get to Toronto, Canada, there is a fantastic auto book store up
there. I don't remember the name, but can find it if you are interested.
Owner is an Alfa guy. Has many out of print books in stock. I spent a few
hours there one day finding treasures. I seem to remember it is near the
Science Museum.
Happy hunting!
