> If you are ever passing through London, you might be interested in
> visiting the Economist bookstore at the London School of Economics (LSE)
> in the centre of the city. On behalf of the Centre for Civil Society here
> at LSE, I recently worked with the store's manager to develop a collection
> devoted purely to the third sector/civil society. (I suspect many of you
> will have experienced difficulty in the past in knowing where to start
> looking for books on the topic!) It is only a first step at the moment and
> can only begin to reflect the burgeoning literature, but I do think it is
> a useful first step.

> While some college bookstores in the US have sections devoted to this
> subject (obviously including many which run courses and research
> programmes upon it) this is, as far as I am aware, the first mainstream
> bookshop in Britain to have a section devoted to the subject.
>
> For those of you who don't know it, the store is located fairly centrally
> in the main cluster of LSE buildings. Go to http://www.lse.ac.uk/ for more
