Simon David, manager of London's Royal Court Theatre bookshop, offers a tour and some recommendations. The store's Web page suggests that a bookseller's job description is just a bit different here: "Our staff specialize in assisting with the selection of audition monologues and scenes. Personal advice is available to anyone wanting help in selecting new and interesting roles from our extensive range of modern plays. We also hold selections of classical plays, as well as books on acting and professional development. The best time to come in for advice is between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m., Monday to Friday."
