I'm struggling with this one, probably because - much as I love books - I never liked bookshops. From the Arts graduates in Waterstones who would sooner continue talking about 'Toby's, like, fantastic Barcelona stag weekend' than actually serve customers, to the cravat wearing Charing Cross Road huckster who charged me £50 for an English / Albanian dictionary, my experience has not been happy. Hooray for the internet, even amazon, say I.
