Book Bonanza 2

Sadly the last actual military/railway book shop in London is closing at the end of this month, so like a vulture circling a carcass I popped along today to see what they had in their closing sale. Picked up all these at 50% discount, plus a few Ospreys and other armour books. Didn't manage to sneak them past Checkpoint Mrs Guntruck

, but quite pleased with the outcome although sad to see the shop go.

Shows you how long it's been since I've been book shopping in the smoke

But bad news about the Ian Allen shop, it was one of our regular stops during my MSc

You will need another room for your library Steve!

Nearly - a large backpack that I couldn't zip up over the contents, plus the fact she knows that if I get within sniffing distance of a bookshop, I tend to come out with something.
