The bookshop of the School of Oriental and African Studies, run by [Arthur Probsthain Oriental and African Bookshop]?. It is at the entrance to the Brunei Gallery building near Russell Square and is open to the public.
It is a small one room shop with books on expected SOAS subjects like Africa, China, India, Islam etc. It has language books like English-Sanskrit dictionaries and SOAS course packs.
secretlondon saw the sign and wondered in one Monday evening. The outside is full of course packs. I wasn't sure what those were (photocopied articles maybe?) and I don't know if they would have sold one to me. The inside is full of new books. The ones I looked at were about £20 which may be the norm in this specialist area.
