But Marylebone was as bustling as it always is on a sunny summer evening: people shopping, hanging out outside the pubs and eating at the resturants' curb-side tables. Timely and witty as ever, one of the windows of Daunt Books was decked out with copies of Amor Towles' Rules of Civility. Judging by (possibly apocryphal) reports that Waterstone's was the only shop in Croydon not to be raided (and the fact that bookshops in general seem to have been left alone) and, in any case, given Daunt's location in SoMaRo, it seems unlikely that any of the rioters will see this irony.
