Just got back from Quinto Bookshop, 48a Charing Cross Road, London. They are shutting this particular shop, on Monday 3rd May, and have basically put a £5 price tag on every computer book in the shop. I think they have somewhere in the region of 15 floor to ceiling shelves of IT books, and not just rubbish either, some quite recent...
I've just purchased these titles:
- Black Box Testing - Beizer [Wiley]
- Learning Java - Niemeyer and Knudsen [O'Reilly]
- Linux Multimedia Guide - Tranter [O'Reilly]
- Java Cryptography - Knudsen [O'Reilly]
- Mastering RMI - Oberg [Wiley]
- Programming Web Graphics - Wallace [O'Reilly]
- The Whole Internet - Conner-Sax and Krol [O'Reilly]
- Managing projects with make - Oram and Talbott [O'Reilly]
- 3D User Interfaces - Barrilleaux [Manning]
- JXTA in a nutshell - Oaks, Traversat and Gong [O'Reilly]
- Java Tools for Extreme Programming - Hightower and Lesiecki [Wiley]
- Agile Modeling - Ambler [Wiley]
- Extreme Programming in Action - Lipper, Roock and Wolf [Wiley]
- Sonar 2 Power - Garrigus [Muska and Lipman]
- The Accidental Project Manager - Ensworth [Wiley]
- XPath Essentials - Watt [Wiley]
- Java Distributed Computing - Farley [O'Reilly]
- C# Essentials - Albahari, Drayton and Merrill [O'Reilly]
- .NET Framework Essentials - Thai and Lam [O'Reilly]
- Programming C# - Liberty [O'Reilly]
- Data Structures and Algorithms in Java - Goodrich and Tamassia [Wiley]
All for the princely sum of £100, quite a saving!
I suggest if you are a techie, and you're around London this weekend, pop over to Leicester Square tube, just opposite the hippodrome, the old green bookshop on the corner, all the tech books are downstairs.
I'm in no way affiliated to the shop Quinto's, by the way, just a very happy customer :-)
Quinto's phone number is 0207 379 7669
Enjoy...
