Yes, I find that too, even when they have 3 for two on, it's a costly shop.

It's near my house and even if I'm not gonna buy books, I just love going there and spend a few hours reading and having a coffee with my friends, it's a very calming and peaceful environment.

I can't wait until I'm 60 years old, retired and just spending my days at bookstores, cinemas and cafes. <3

I buy most of my books from Amazon. But that's because I live in Denmark and English books cost a fortune. I would much rather have a WH Smith or Waterstones to browse in, although Amazon is cheaper and give a very good service.

Other than HMV - I tend to buy from The Works a lot. Their 3 for Ł5 deal
i buy like 7 shelves at a time via auction and amazon

Waterstones. Although I'll often read it at the library, I often read books more than once but if I keep them for more than a few weeks they'll become too tatty.

Wherever sells books I want, really. Usually Waterstones, The Works, WH Smith, Amazon.

When I'm in town and venture into a bookstore, it's possible I won't leave for a while.
