What about Waterstones? I got a lot there last time i were in London. As i
recall it its in a street next to Oxford Street?
I got both costume related and embroidery related books there, and i thoaght
they had a nice collection.

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
