Charity shops everywhere are good for browsing and some book bargains can be found plus the money goes to worthy causes. My favourite shop is Sharston Books in Manchester, which is an industrial unit crammed with second hand books piled everywhere along twisting nooks and crannies of bookcases. Its like going to a Narnia of books!  :D

Actually, if you visit any National Trust or English Heritage property the chances are it will have a second-hand bookshop. I've picked up a few from there.
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

In Portugal there aren´t many bookstores concerning military history or modelling, most of the books we buy are from the internet, or in the big warehouses like FNAC.

My favourite Book Stores -  about 8 years ago I visited some of my wife relatives residing in France and decided to visit Paris, the place where she was born and lived until the age of 5. Then I passed by a bookstore called Histoire et collections, amazing place, three divisions entirely full of magazines, books of military history, modelling,....did not know where else to turn I started to pile up books (but in the end I could only  bring some books because I could not exceed the weight limit for luggage at the airport.

I remember that I bought "Encyclopedia of German Tanks of ww2",  The British and American tanks of world war two by Peter chamberlain,  Chris Ellis and Hilary Doyle, Panzer Operations by E RAUS, a book about the brandenburg division, a french book about the french tanks 1940 by Ronald Mcnair, and a few more.

To be honest i buy all my books from Amazon or second hand booksellers on Amazon

I buy a lot through the amazon route but there's something magical about exploring a second hand bookshop with a warren of higgledy piggledy rooms
