  For the 62nd Second-Hand Book Factory, Charles Adrian is joined by Gary Powell, who is the manager of a real book shop, on the street in Exmouth Market in London. After a wobbly start, they talk about an unlikely liking for sport, the realisation that maybe nobody can give you what you need and the latest addition to a classic collection.   You can buy the Rachel Kann book and find out more about her here.   The podcast with Gary’s boyfriend John, which we talk about, was put out again recently. You can listen and download here.       [Warning: some bad language from beginning]
