We kept passing Lloyd's of Kew on our way to and fro but it always seemed to be the outside of business hours. So it was great that we managed a good, but quick browse on our last day in London.

| The extremely friendly proprietor (Lloyd perhaps?). |
 |
| Being near Kew Gardens, they had a great garden section. John was in heaven. |
 |
| Great little selection of original Penguins. One of these days soon I will share with you what I bought. |

11/23 UPDATE: I only just now noticed that copy of The Woman in White.
It would have gone into my luggage if I had noticed it that day. |
 |
| He had great postcards of books in the shop. I bought several that I will share with you all once I scan them in. |
 |
| I don't think John was going for this blurry effect, but I quite like it. |

This bookshop is so tidy! My second hand store is a mess with boxes of books. The owner encourages you to burrow for books as I think they also get a bit more organized once we are done!
What fun! Those books are gorgeous. Stores like that really make every book feel like a treasure.
Pictures like these make me long to own a bookshop. I love those large windows letting th light stream through.
I'm anticipating the photographs of your purchases.
I like the out-of-focus background too.
I absolutely love the Book Tree!
I also love the book tree.
But shouldn't store book marks be free?
Looks like a wonderful alternate universe in which books *do* grow on trees - how neat...
