Lal, I have actually recently been in said bookshop. It is still nice and old style. There is an old man who works there... Or at least, I think he works there. He is asleep all the time, but sits in the corner of the second floor room. They have quite an extensive Tolkien collection. I got my copies of HoME 8, 9 and 10 from there. I may go again to see if they have the other Tolkien biography, the one I don't have.
Incidentally, I had a dream last night that involved some Downers. I only remember snatches of it, but it, for some reason, involved Eomer and lal trying to break into a bank but when the alarm went off they threw a bag of money to me and said 'run!' So we all ran away from the police, going up a set of glass stairs for some reason and occasionally taking a glass lift. It was, apparently, bulletproof glass, which was good because the police kept shooting at us.
I found this really odd, because both
Lal and
Eomer are police officers in the Downer world.
