I walked to a couple of local charity shops during my college break and raided their books shelves again. I picked up a copy of The Ancestor's Tale by Richard Dawkins and also The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco. I'm a little gutted though, there was a lovely looking little second-hand bookshop very close to my college that I've always wanted to have a snoop around in but never got around to, and the very day I decide to pop in I find that it's closed down. 'Tis never to be known what little treasures might have been lying in wait within.
On a side note, has anyone ever visited the second hand book stalls underneath Waterloo bridge in London? I had a quick browse there this staurday and I must admit, I found the prices quite steep... most books I had a look at seemed to be around £4, just your average paperback in an ok-ish condition. Just seemed to me to be fairly expensive for books that aren't even new and would probably cost around a pound elsewhere depending on where you look.
