Joseph Fox Bookshop declared its independence in 1951 and has remained as such for almost 50 years. On a quiet section of Sansom Street, look for the oak sign with yellow letters. Walk down the steps. The bookshop is a cramped two aisles, with stuffed shelves and piles of classics on the floor. What makes small bookstores fun is that the selection tends to reflect the bookseller's taste rather than what's on top of the bestseller list: There's a good selection of good books here, not just popular ones. To your left, in the back, is a substantial section on architecture. If something you're looking for is out-of-print, they will do a search for no charge. A children's section is there to entertain the kids; you could stick your hand in anywhere on the shelves and come up with a good book to pass the time. Review © 2009, Wcities |
