All advice gratefully received, and I will summarise. The best second hand bookshops are in the West Port up to the go-go triangle. West Port books is an excellent place to start. Load of paperbacks etc. and cheap, plus a character all of it's own. BTW they have a great selection of classical music scores too. Oxfam on Nicolson St is one of the best of the charity shops for books, ditto in Stockbridge. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Neil Tingley Furtwaengler FAQ from r.m.c.r contributers at: neil@music.demon.co.uk http://www.netlink.co.uk/users/music/ & links to London, UK G.H Gould and others "more about me" menu. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
