i don't know what the last reviewer was talking about. This is an amazing bookshop. You could easily spend a day here as they have such an amazing selection to browse. my kids love their children's section as well.
the only down point is that it takes ages for them to answer the phone if you want to ring ahead to see if an item in in stock but this is less of a problem if you call at less busy points of the day.
all in all a gem in the heart of london
