Me, book stores followed by games stores. Not that there's
very many of /those/.

I've only ever been in one, and that was years ago, in
London. It was either fairly near the Tottenham Court Rd.
underground station, or near the other end of Tottenham
Court Rd., but I'm damned if I can remember which. I was
actually more intrigued by a shop, somewhere along the Royal
Mile in Edinburgh, that specialized in playing cards. (I
ended up springing for Nr. 325 of an edition of 1000
reproductions of a Hofämterspiel, a 15th century German deck
based on the officers of a princely court. Lovely art, and
lots of heraldry, too.)
