You know how Tumblr gives you An Ad, just the one, over and over? I'm offended by this one, and it's apparently The Ad I have to deal with for the time being:

BOOKS FOR DECORATION!!!?!??

As in, "I'm here to buy some books."

"How many and what color?"

Tumblr, the closest I will ever come to purchasing "Decorative Books" are the "Book boxes" I use for my doll accessories.

Bookshop - Any Amount of Books, London

[Any Amount of Books, 56 Charing Cross Road, London, WC2H 0QA]

Any Amount of Books [AAOB] in the centre of London (local tube station Leicester Square) is a bookshop selling secondhand books.

It's well-known for the green boxes of books outside, at £1.50 each. Inside are two floors of - very literally - wall-to-wall books, across pretty much every category one can think of.

An earlier article about the shop at https://wordacrosstime.tumblr.com/post/152692234989/bookshop-any-amount-of-books-london describes it more fully. Not much has changed in the range of books, but the interior has been entirely re-done to create more space for customers to move around and to get more easily to books. Like many secondhand bookshops, people like to be able to spend time finding what they want, and it's a friendly place with no-one pressing to sell books and hurry people along.

AAOB says it wants to provide a wide range of secondhand books that meet 'the kind of needs people don't know they have', with a general direction - but not exclusively - of 'the humanities'. Books are 'reasonably priced' with the aim of being 'the best-priced bookshop in London, with something for almost everyone'.
