It’s the week before Christmas, and there’s magic in the air—and we’ve got a big ol’ portion of it buzzing around instore. There’s nothing quite like a bookshop at this time of year: the decorations, the atmosphere, the knowledge that everyone around you shares a love of all things books. People browsing around, somewhere between excited hubbub and thoughtful hush. You take your time looking through a display; picking up an eye-catching book and reading the blurb on the back. Finding what you’re looking for, and finding something special you didn’t know was there in the world. Someone rushes up to the desk nearby, relieved and delighted to hear we’ve got what they were been searching for. And of course the unwritten rule of Christmas book shopping. One for them, one for them, one for them, ONE FOR YOU.... Remember, while the last postage dates for online orders have now passed, that #ClickandCollect is your friend: you can use the website to reserve in-stock items for free in as little as two hours, depending on availability. Or just head on in for inspiration: come, browse our tables, shelves and displays, see what people are picking up, ask a bookseller for recommendations, and soak in the matchless atmosphere of a bookshop at Christmas. #christmas #christmasshopping #booksforeveryone
