Charming little book store - always worth a visit!…read more As a book lover, I am constantly torn between two kinds of stores: the mega bookstores where you can be sure to find exactly that one novel that you've been looking for, and the charming little, privately run bookstore around the corner, with all its quirky little nooks and handpicked books.

It is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area, and as an avid reader I can only recommend to visit this charming little shop, as it's not even closely comparable to the experience of shopping in a huge, anonymous book store.
