Lutyens & Rubinstein is a tremendous, discerning and compact (ground floor, slender mezzanine and basement) bookshop. It's a squeeze, but its small size pays dividends. Established by a pair of literary agents, the focus is on 'excellence in writing', as determined by customers and readers, so every book comes recommended. Don't expect huge piles of best-sellers, stuffed dump-bins or buy-one-get-one-frees.
