In which Pyat visits old haunts

[pyat]

I went to "Elliot's Books" today, for the first time since about 1997. It doesn't go up as far as I remember - I recalled it as having four floors, for some reason. But the three floors were enough, each one smaller than the last, and reached with a progression of narrower flights of creaky stairs.

I bought a copy of Orwell's wartime broadcasts, and a collection of his essays I didn't already have. He really didn't like Salvador Dali.

I also popped into "Grey Region", and bought the copy of Pawns: The Opening Move quite possibly the same copy that I bought there in 1995, and sold back to him in 1996.

There had six copies of Chill! And a collection of Shoe comics!

Hmm...did they have the first edition of Chill, or???

I've always remembered they only had the three floors.
