Ellen Scobie | Verosimile

People everywhere. Enduring impression of lots of people; really cold. Everyone walks in Central London and at quite a clip too. Found Daunt Books on Marylebone High Street. Lovely bookshop with creaky wood floors and a central nave with a peaked skylight flooding the interior with brightness. People were whispering like in church; the temple of literacy. "How are you making out", overheard whispered. "Not good", came the reply although the hands to which the voice were attached were holding about six books. I wandered around the travel section and saw that shelved next to the guides to Crete and Athens were books by Greek philosophers and Aesop's Fables. A cultural immersion. The street is filled with lots of fancy shops. I especially likes the Specialist Cheese shop with its warm nutty colours.
