It is a long drive but worth every pound of petrol! The town of several million books – heaven and that is no exageration.

The trip requires some discipline – there are so many shops and stacks of books that soem comcentration in certain areas is necessary for focus and satisfaction. Yesterday was literary criticism with a serious search for books about biography and autobiography. Some rest was found in theology and politics!

The town is also blessed with plenty of other therapuetic distractions – like coffee shops with cakes and cafes with healthy food.  A wonderful day out. Which section would you go to ? Have you a list of books that you are looking for? How about a day out In Hay?? ( small hint to Cliff Morrey..)
