What a great haul of books for the month! Have a great time in the UK. Are you bringing along an empty suitcase so you can fill it with books you buy? :) That's what I did once!

Have a great time on your holiday! I found books to be well priced in the UK as compared to Australia but restrained myself from buying too many because I was scared they wouldn't fit in my suitcase!

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) on British Airways you can now only check one bag (last year it was two) so there will be no extra suitcase for books! I'm hoping to pick up a few but spending a few hours browsing in a bookstore is not my husband's idea of fun and since he's pretty much letting me set the itinerary and go wherever I want, I decided not to push my luck by planning on spending too much time book shopping.
I will be posting pictures on the travel blog that I set up last year for our trip to London/Wales. Here's the URL if anyone is interested:
