A right honourable bookshop.

In my seemingly futile but constant search for things related to stylish things, I happened to find out about the upcoming release of a book related to Winston Churchill and his style.  Now, that's surely something strange, I thought, but then I realized after doing a little mental addition that in fact he was very much a person who had not only a persona (viewed from the distance and fog of history) but that he himself I knew from reading to be a recognized connoisseur of fine things.  So, it was not so strange after all to have a book devoted to the man.

Through my usual circuitous route of knowledge, I found that there existed for many years a bookstore which is devoted to Winston Churchill, and located in the very heart of the city.  So, having some time to kill in the area yesterday, I popped in for a look see and was glad to be in that small gem of a shop, which is inside a plaza open to the public (and which I remembered from decades ago when a friend went for an interview in one of the offices upstairs).  Once inside, and surrounded by first editions, signed books and the like, I found it to be a hidden treasure and kept wondering which books were the ones to read on the legendary Churchill.

There always does exist magic in the city, and it can turn up anywhere, if you are so inclined to look.
