I played hookey from my conference for a couple hours yesterday morning.
The weather was not great, to put it mildly:

But I had places to visit, both connected with books. Starting with the
magnificent Bodleian Library where one can look at a copy of Magna Carta, made
within a few years of its initial promulgation in 1215:

And just across the street is the original Blackwells bookshop, founded in 1879
and simply awesome. I bought 6 books, limited more by the fact that I was
flying home that evening than by monetary considerations:
