There is even a photo spot marked for you to take it all in on your camera. I love that although it is large and has tons of books, it didn't feel cramped and unorganized. My favorite part of the store was in the back where they had high value books for sale. Thee are one of a kind, super ild editions that are in great condition and there is a whole team to curate and market these books. We got to see them in real life!

The prices can be too from about fifty quid up to tens of thousands. The staff were incredibly helpful and, not as I first feared, judgmental about my total lack of knowledge around book collecting. I could happily spend hours in the shop going through the books and, after leafing through some of the more affordable ones, can now see the charm of book collecting. Even if you're not in the market for buying, pay a visit and experience the history.

Conveniently located only a short walk from Soho as well as Leicester Square tube, Any Amount of Books is a safe haven to escape to from the busy streets of central London.

I love independent book shops, sadly they are a dying breed, but this is a perfect example. It's great to just go in and peacefully browse without any pressure and they have such a treasure trove of different titles. They also do a great mail order service, I ordered a book from them online and it arrived with normal delivery the next day - great service.

New independent bookshops aren't exactly ten a penny. It also happened to be World Book Day, I have just realised. It was meant to be. I love how it looks from the outside. Like a portal to another world. You go down Hanbury Street, think you must've missed it and then...suddenly it's there. Stylish black shopfront with a nice inviting glow. This was only a very quick visit but I like how they do things in Libreria. First, I have to note that there was a Riga RP-1 record player with Velvet Underground & Nico on the turntable so...good start. No espresso bar here. No mobiles allowed. Comfy seating and little nooks to sit down and check out a book. Tick tick tick. Sally, Libreria's director, introduced herself to me and explained how things were laid out. Very friendly and helpful. Books are largely organised alphabetically, fiction on the left and nonfic on the right. However, within that, books are clustered into themes or ideas, in order to promote interesting combinations of books nestling next to each other. Great idea. Pure A-Z is so 2015. Also, they have asked celebs to do a mini-curation of their favourite books. Shami Chakrabarti's faves are currently on display. I think the idea is to change everything round every quarter. Events are also gonna happen here. I dutifully added my email to the mailing list on the front desk. Waterstones can do one.

I have been visiting this bookshop since I was at school; it has provided me with a large variety of books throughout my Universtiy times too. Books are inexpensive, and you can take along any unwanted books too. I once had a school trip to the book shop, where we walked across the villiage green peering into Penn Pond too! I love the way that such an old building can house so many titles/authors all under one roof! It's brilliant if you want something specific, or just fancy a browse. The staff are very friendly, and seem to know where every thing is in the shop. That's a memory for you! Good for old travel guides and old style maps too.
