I was looking for an impossibly esoteric book (a specific Tibetan-English dictionary) and stumbled across it at Arches. Their price was less than HALF then nearest best price at you-know-where. So this is my new go-to, either in person online.

Received a very rare book from this gem of a book shop. Sent to me by post to London, arrived in excellent condition and the dustcover very thoughtfully protected by melinex. An excellent independent book store.
