Hats Off To Otterstone’s

When I visit a bookshop, I like to visit one with character. One that’s a bit different. A bit eccentric, even.

That’s why I favour Waterstone’s.

Can I give you an example?

Not long ago I went into my local Waterstone’s to get a French book. No special French book. Just a French book. I was off on a trip to France and I wanted to get some of the rust off my French by reading something in French. Anything, really.
