12、psthe best known of theseis Charring Cross Road in the very heart of London.Here bookshopsof all sorts and sizes are to be found,from the celebrated one which boasts of being“thebiggest bookshop in the world to the tiny,dusty little places which seem to have beenleft over from Dickens time。Some of t

14、it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books，Charring CrossRoad is not the cheapest.For the really cheap second-hand books,the collector must ventureoff the beaten track，to Farringdon Road，for example，in the EastCentral district ofLondon.Here there is nothing so impressive as books
15、hops。The booksellers come along eachmorning and pour out their sacks of books onto small hand carts.And the collectors，someprofessionals and some amateurs,have been waiting for them。In places like this they canstill，occasionally，pick up for a few pence an old one that may be worth many pounds。21。“Lo
