Good bookshops

Normblog has a profile of Vanessa from Fidra, who owns the new Children’s Bookshop in Edinburgh. It’s an interesting read, and the shop sounds lovely. Mrs Normblog (aka Adele Geras) has visited, and gives it the thumbs up. I have ascertained that the shop has an armchair ready and waiting for me, so I really must go North. Soon. The shop is just round the corner from Son’s student abode, so not much of an excuse at all. And any shop that gets criticised for its carpet (!) by the big chain, must have something going for it. Can’t wait.
