And talking of cheapy shops, you can't beat a Poundland or 99p Store. I get ridiculously happy when I go in there and find a great DVD for £1. Or 99p.
I wouldn't fancy buying a book if somebody's had their nose in it, sniffing sniffing sniffing!
Better a sniff than a sneeze!

And there's me thinking I was a little bit odd. Now there's me and two nice ladies who do it.
Sounds like a great idea for a sitcom - Man about the Library. I'd better get on and write it.
Another Waterstone's lover here. And I do love all the pretty colours and crazy shapes in any Octopus shop.
Love walking around Harrod's and knowing I can never afford much more than a bar of chocolate.

We know.
Selfridges in Birmingham isn't bad. Not for the inside, that's awful, but for the outside.

No, you're still odd (and more than "a little bit" - you're just not alone.

Aaron - I think thou dost protest too much.....
With Zooo asleep he takes his chance
The yearnings are too strong
Perversion is subjective
Who decides what's right or wrong
He knows that he denies himself
A pleasure that she shares
With other odd contributors
Whose actions lead to stares
Tonight's the night he finally
Decides he'll have a go
With heart a beating noisily
And breathing very low
Picks up his favourite novel
With it's cover old and stiff
And opens very slowly
And then takes a virgin sniff
Then getting back into their bed
He sees her lying there
And thinks that she must never know
The secret they now share
(But no.)

There's only a few about I think. I've only seen the one in York, and another in London on Carnaby street.
Ah, vaguely rings a bell when you say there's one on Carnaby Street. Not really my kind of stock though. 
Yeah I'd say it's a bit of a girly shop. Always fun to look at though.
Amazon. All my details are saved and I don't have to deal with anyone.
Good point!

I got the Not Only But Always... DVD in Poundland and was very happy. Unfortunately, that DVD then got scratched to f**k. 
Where was it you got Armstrong and Miller for a quid, chip? The Works?
