Sanskrit in London

[Guest guest]

Hi, group.

 

I've just moved to London, England, from Toronto, and had to leave most of my

books behind, at least for the time being, so I have no Sanskrit to read,

escept for a little paperback Gita I bought in Toronto's Little INdia before I

left. And I do not yet have access to the SOAS library. I wonder if there is

anyone on the London area who can lend me, say, a not too valuable Ramayana or

Mahabharata to tide me over, or perhaps direct me to shops in London similar to

the one in Toronto where I could find very cheap paperback editions of the Gita

and Itihasa. At the SOAS bookstore I was referred to Arthur Probsthain's shop

in Great Russell Street, but looking through the window I don't have the

impression that he will have anything that is not quite valuable and costly,

though I shall go in today.

 

Many thanks.
