Hi,
I'll be visiting London in August and I hope I'll finally get to
some library or bookshop to look at all the books I've only read
about at amazon or on this list. I don't really expect to buy a lot
of things, maybe some books that are hard to get or some second hand
costume books (any good shops?). I just want to see the books to
make myself a list what to buy later, as I am a poor student:-DD
Is there any large public library or a library where most of the
costume books are to be found?
Thanks for any tips,
Zuzana
Although I live in London I have absolutely no idea where to find
second hand books, except on line. The only book shop that sells
costume books for certain is R.D. Franks,
(http://www.rdfranks.co.uk/) and they are a specialist fashion trade
book shop, so there is a lot of modern tailoring/fashion student
orientated content. (I was disappointed when I went last.)
As for public libraries, again, I have absolutely no idea - each area
of London has several local libraries, and you may or may not be lucky.
Sorry not to be more helpful.
Suzi
