Thank you for your information. I will definitely visit that store.

Indeed, it was interesting for me (as a typical Japanese tourist) to visit
such an atomospheric bookstore, where price tags had not been changed for
years, wooden chests were messily filled with music sheets, and so on.
But, I was suprised that Foyles had some new music sheets from Japanese
music publishers, e.g., Scriabin's Etudes from ZEN-ON.  It was unusual to
see those overseas.
