ow, let’s move further South, to Yorkshire and even more precisely: to SHEFFIELD! Sheffield, of The Full Monty fame was once known for its steel industry, but is now more distinguished by the Meadowhall Shopping Center, which is gigantic, and the Sheffield Arena where The Beautiful South once played during the golden age..... Sheffield is a general favourite of Lydien’s and there are two other Llydien-approved bookshops here. One is The Porter Bookshop on Sharrow Vale Road, take the # 60 Bus to Crimicar Lane, it goes past there. The Porter Bookshop is quite well-stocked and they lean more towards the antiquarian side.

book Llydien once bought there is The New Whole Duty of Man, Containing The Faith as well as Practice of A Christian: Made Easy For the Practice of the Present Age, As the Old ‘Whole Duty of Man’ was design’d for those unhappy Times in which it was written; and Supplying the Articles of The Christian Faith, Which are Wanting in that Book Tho’ Essentially necessary to Salvation, printed in 1787. Llydien actually owns a copy of the old Whole Duty of Man, although in a 1748 edition, and can testify that, yes indeed, the New Whole Duty is very much enlarged and improved. The original Whole Duty, should any reader be interested, was published in 1657, in the time of Oliver Cromwell....
