I was in London last year and there was a lovely used bookstore across the street from the British Museum. Sadly the only thing I remember about the name is it started with a Q. But they had a whole section about fashion in the back next to the Art books. I wish I could be more helpful than that.

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?

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.

That always depends on the stocking policy of the manager - sometimes you get lucky - I haven't!!

The best place to buy such books was the V&A museum shop. But I thought there must be another place with many costume books? There should be at least one larger library, or art-oriented library... We have one central library in Prague where you can find almost any Czech book, so I thought there will be one in London, too?

Haven't used it for 25 years, so I hope it has changed for the better. You used to have to wait such ages to get the books you wanted too, I never thought of checking out books I wanted to buy.
