- dp In London, Dillon's bookstore is quite good. It has a rather large
- dp technical collection -- mathematics, computer science, statistics
- dp (my areas of interest), and holdings in most all the sciences, literature
- dp and the arts. It's near the British museum. Look for advertisements
- dp on the wall in the underground. Say hello to my younger brother, who is
- dp one of the floor managers, Richard Story (basement floor:earth sciences).
- dp Math., Stat., and C.S. are also basement floor.
