In a town like London there are always plenty of not quite certifiable lunatics walking the streets, and they tend to gravitate towards bookshops, because a bookshop is one of the few places where you can hang about for a long time without spending any money.George Orwell, “Bookshop Memories” in Fortnightly (November 1936)
When Iesus hearde yt he sayde vnto them. The whole have no nede of the phisicio but the sicke. I came not to call the rightwise but the synners to repentaunce.Mark 2:17 TYN
A good bookshop is just a genteel Black Hole that knows how to read.Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!
