I had the chance to visit Abbey Books this afternoon and came away with a couple of finds.
There was a charming older bloke assistant type who just finished his fag outside the shop as I arrived.
I was welcomed to the shop and then pointed in the right direction ( It would have been so much worse in a horror film )
Assistant : "What's your poison, sir?"
Me: "Er, Glasgow"
Assistant: " Try these shelves "
One of the books I bought ( £4) was a Corporation guide book called "Seeing Glasgow" , original cost 20p. I think it is from 1974.
The adverts are a lot more fun than the main text:
