It’s a little bit further than local from me, but one of my favourite bookshops is the Waterstones in Gower Street in London. They have a huge selection of nonfiction, Loeb classical library hardbacks available. It’s in a beautiful building, and just down from the British Museum(those sneaky people….) and the staff are always lovely.
I've been there! Thats a great shop. I was visiting my sister and wandered in after the museum. Do you mean the museum is sneaky bc of the marbles etc or something else?
In regards to bookshop day. My favourite bookshop is Pulp Fiction in Brisbane Australia. They are an independent bookshop. They are the only bookshop in this city that carry Jodi Taylor books and have me on standing order for the new St Mary’s and Time Police books.
My family runs two independent bookshops and it’s really lovely work. It’s hard but rewarding, and the industry is doing better and better. It's great to see for cultural reasons as well as the economics. A lot of the revenue DOES come from chocolate bars and greeting cards but what can you do. :) It always makes me smile to see or hear from a bookshop enthusiast!
Here in the US Wild West, there is a MARVELOUS book store called The Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale, Arizona. It is a wonderful independent bookstore that opened in 1989. It is a pure joy to visit and browse. Many author events. I have discovered many new worlds from attending these events and the book clubs that they host. Including my introduction to the world of St Mary's!
My favourite bookshop is actually a book fair that takes place in a old building in the Botanic Gardens in Glasgow. You have to go behind all the greenhouses to find it. It's one weekend every month and I can spend so much time (and money) going around the stalls. It's actually where I first picked up Just One Thing After Another and I go back hoping to find another favourite comfort read.
