SOHO BOOKSHOPS
GATHERING CENTRE OF MANY RACES.
Christina Foyle, member of a family that runs one of London’s bookshops with a history—in London's “Latin quarter,” Soho —and known to many visitors from overseas, broadcast about some of their customers in the 8.8. C. series “Speaking Personally.” Every nationality is to be found in Soho and every tongue may be heard round the trays of books outside the shops. Even in war time their customers come from many parts of the world. There are Americans, Chinese. Fighting French, and nationals of every country imaginable Some of the strangers make queer n.istakes over titles. One recently asked for “The Decline and Fall of the Holborn Empire,” (name of a popular London music hall which did not decline, but has fallen as a result of the blitz).
