I walked through there about 8pm yesterday and day before and it was fine. Heaps of people around (getting in my way, making me late for my train, sigh). Don't know about 9 though.

Actually I recommend buying them if you can afford them. Provided you actually read them they WILL be of some use to you. Considering most people are like the person above, you will be at an advantage for reading them. Of course, they are optional for a reason - you don't need them to pass. But...
