Avizandum apparently means something like \"takes time to consider his judgement\", e.g. \"It did not take avizandum to write this review\".\n\nThis law specialist book shop, right in the centre of town and not far from George Sq. Campus, has the largest collection of Scots law books in the country and has a pretty big range of law books in general. It's the only law specialist book shop in Edinburgh and if you study the subject at the local uni, expect to pay a visit here.\n\nMost university textbooks are expensive, but law books are REALLY expensive, so be prepared to part with your cash. This isn't anything particularly unique to Avizandum though and you'd pay just as much in Blackwells. Unfortunately the only way around this is really to shop around on the internet. \n\nIf you don't know exactly what you're looking for, or you do and can't find it, the staff at Avizandum are quite happy to help you out. If for any reason they don't have something you need, they can order it in.
