Londoners are great readers. They buy a large number of newspapers and magazines and even of books-especially paperbacks(平装书), which are still rather cheap in spite of the ever-increasing rises in the cost of printing. They still continue to buy “proper” books too, printed on good paper and fastened between hard covers.

There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize(专营) in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here the bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the famous one which calls itself “the biggest book-shop in the world” to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens’ time. Some of these shops stock, or will get any kind of books, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in books on philosophy, politics or any other of the many subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes in books about ballet！
