Antiquarian Bookshops

Let me hazard a definition of what this kind of bookshop should be like. It must be run by a person of humour, learning, and curiosity, to whom nothing in book form is alien. It should be kept in a permanent state of apparent chaos-always too many books for the shelf space, always piles and boxes of new bought lots awaiting inspection. Above all, it must be catholic in its offerings, because its prime function for your writers is to help them realize their tastes.
