Oooh I hadn't seen these covers yet, thanks for posting this!

For the illumination of @tkingfisher.com and others, Foyles is HUGE and the sort of place (although it was decades ago now) where you can find facsimile copies of the Book of Kells on the open shelves. And, being a Software Engineer, every single one of the O'Reilly 'Safari' books.

Each department is as big as a decent sized bookstore in it's own right. It is also a Three Dimensional Maze worthy of any Fantasy Novel or Game. However, beware the queue for the tiny number of toilets (unless things have changed).

Depends if you’re referencing the old building pre-2014 or the new one, two blocks down the road from the old one

Old Building. Because I'm OLD :)

So old I didn't know they have moved.

Likewise, some of us can remember the arcane docket system used to pay for your book.
It was almost like they didn’t want to sell you books 🤔😂

I can remember that - I was buying books from them as a student 1982-86.
