This week at Books for London we’re starting a weekly round up of book, tube, and swap related things we’ve seen in London, and elsewhere.
- Our friends Books on the Underground are hopping across the pond to New York. Books on the Subway, anyone?
- Who says big companies like Waterstones don’t have a sense of humour?
BOOK FACT: If you took every book in our store and laid them end to end you would be thrown out by security and banned from returning.

WaterstonesOxfordSt (@WstonesOxfordSt) April 17, 2013- Our other friends, Books on the Tube, had a Monday morning reading dilemma with a book set in London. We say triple points for reading a book on the tube, set in London.
- A Kickstarter project to fund a new Little Free Library in Salem, North Carolina has been wildly successful, with a $175 goal turning into $8,000 being pledged. Salem’s gonna have a lotta little libraries!
- The Guardian looks at cool public libraries, and how cool university libraries are shaping research
- Do you need some Tubespiration?
- And finally…some friends recently went to Gorky Park in Moscow. Check out what they found!
Spotted anything interesting on your book or tube travels? Let us know by emailing londonbookswap@gmail.com
Haha, thanks for all the points! Since posting my dilemma, I’ve finished the second book in the series and started the third. All the chapters in the third book are named after Underground stations – I’m in heaven!!
