Bookish question
All local bookshops seem to have a quirk. What interesting quirks does your local bookshop have?
Leakey's bookshop in Inverness has all the typical charms of a local bookshop; piles upon piles of books, interesting nooks and crannies and a drole owner who seems grumpy at first. My favourite thing about it though, is the wood burner in the middle of the room. It always has a roaring fire in the winter even though it doesn't seem safe surrounded by piles of paper.
