I remember the original Drury Hill Bookshop. It was then (60s) probably the best second hand /antiquarian bookshop in the City. Bill Carlin, who ran it, used to work in and for the older and by then defunct s/h bookshop which was next door to Sisson and Parkers on Wheeler Gate. He had to move his Drury Hill premises when they built Broad Marsh - What a disaster that all was! I helped him to move and to set up the new shop. Leeds used to have some good bookshops. Not any more. How is Nottingham doing for good second hand bookshops? There were lots when I left. Is it all tacky and all-
