RE: An Edwardian book shop and Answers to January HPUD Guessing Contest

Wow, what a cool store. It definitely has a lot of light. Probably a bit too busy to really cozy up and check out what they have though. I've never been much of a reader myself, so I totally understand. My wife could probably spend a long time here.

Sort:  

I noticed they didn't have that many seats for people to sit down, or maybe they removed them during the busy period, but yeah, book lovers like our other half would love it here

I wonder if seating like that in book shops isn't as much of a thing anymore. Maybe Covid kind of nixed it. Or like you said the holiday's maybe. I haven't been in a bookstore in years, so that could be part of it too!

I noticed in my local bookshop they've actually expanded the cafe area, which is a good way to kill two birds with one stone as cafes must be more profitable

For sure! I think that's how it used to be at a lot of places back before all the craziness.
