Guys, it's a bookstore. Like any other bookstore. Unless you actually plan on purchasing one of the original editions of something that is stored upstairs in the glass cases, then you don't need to go to the Strand.

This is an enormous store full of incredible books. You can spend all day (and all of your paycheck) in here.
