When it opened - around 1997 perhaps - that Amnesty bookshop had some 
amazing technical books; I wondered where they had got them from. Nice 
to hear that it still has a good section. Where I live nowadays 
(Brighton area) is excellent for charity bookshops generally, but less 
on the technical side.

Was Galloway and Porter that semi-remainder shop on ... Sidney Street? 
Yes, as you say, a bit too random...
