Scond-hand books

When it comes to bookshops there's only one place. Hay-on-Wye, England, is acknowledged as the second-hand book capital of Europe. It has more bookshops than anywhere else I know. One of the best is the Cinema Bookshop (in an old disused cinema, obviously), which is huge. One bookshop (can't remember its name) is split over several sites because its too big to fit in a single shop - the buildings in Hay-on-Wye are quite small.
