Was not the case when I bought very thick and complete real workshop manuals ("Manuel d'atelier" for dealers not Haynes) for different cars.
Motorbooks just off Trafalgar Square? Not sure if they are still there. The wonderful mecca of St Martin's Models, just round the corner, has gone to. Believe it was owned by one-time Mustang racer Ralph Avis.

For my next glasses I will probably revert to Specsavers in Folkestone - much simpler!
