First I went to Hard to Find (but worth the effort) secondhand book shop. Although not far from the hotel I took the car. It had satellite navigation I didn't.
The shop was up a steep flight of stairs but did have a chair-lift. Did I use it, of course not I am not a invalid I just have bad knees and problem climbing stairs.
The shop had plenty of books and some couches to sit and contemplate your purchases. Unfortunately not many interesting Antarctic books. I was told that the good books were in their Internet shop behind a set of glass doors and not open to the public. Although there was a notice on the door saying that staff would do a search for you. However, I needed to see what they had and check it against my database so I decided to leave that until I got back to the hotel. Especially since last night I had mastered the hotel's WiFi.
However I did find one book that I last saw in Victoria on Vancouver Island. Then I didn't buy it but this time I did.
