bookshops worth a visit - Foyles, London


At one stage I had a plan to buy a book from every bookshop in london and I still aim to visit a lot more of the ones I am yet to discover but it would be difficult not to wind up at some point at Foyles.

The bookshop has it's own history and when you go inside you feel as if you are stepping into a cathedral of reading for those who appreciate the printed word. In many respects it is just like any other large store once you get past the aura but for that feeling of being a special place to buy a book it is still worth making the effort to go and visit.
