This is my favourite bookshop. Recently when in City books another customer thought I worked there....I just kept that particular idea going and pretended,even answering their questions about opening times. Today though I was short of time, so I went straight to the experts who really work there and asked for help. They are truly brilliant, just ask and they couldn't be more helpful. I wish I did work there.
