Londoners are great readers.They buy large numbers of newspapers，magazines and books—especially paperbacks （平裝書），which are still cheap in spite of everincreasing rises in the costs of printing.They still continue to buy "proper" books，too，printed on good paper.
There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in bookselling.Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London.Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found，from the celebrated one which is said to be "the biggest bookshop in the world" to the tiny，dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens' time.Some of these shops stock，or will make efforts to get，any kind of book，but many of them specialize in secondhand books，in art books，in foreign books，in books on economics，politics or any other subjects about which books may be written.One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet.
Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books，Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest.For really cheap secondhand books，collectors must venture off the beaten track，to Farringdon Road，in the East Central District of London.Here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops.The booksellers come along each morning and put lots of books onto small handcarts （手推車） which line the streets.The collectors，some professionals and some amateurs （業(yè)余愛好者），who have been waiting for them，run quickly towards the books.In places like this one can still，occasionally，pick up for a few pence an old book that may be worth many pounds.
