In the basement of Mitsukoshi department store on Regent street (next to the Japan Centre) is the most wonderful Japanese bookstore - JP Books. They have stationary, magazines and the best book covers ever. My favourites on this visit were the knitting and Shakepeare ones.
I love these pictures. Something always comforts me about a good set of books. x
