Holiday Books in London Glance at Shops Tables
London in late November shows fewer Christmas specialties with autumn titles on prominent tables. Biographies of Lord Russell and Lady Sarah Lennox draw attention, alongside philosophy, science, and travel works. New editions from Dent, Macmillan, and others offer Thackeray, Temple Bible, and Story of the Nations. Fairy tales and boys’ books expand, while the season’s fiction reflects many new authors and women writers.
