Borders

Visas can be a pain sometimes though.

a good place just to chill and read books without buying. that might be the reason they've gone bust :-(

I was gutted when my local one closed down last year.

Grab a handful of books, buy an overpriced coffee and make it last all afternoon.

Usually walk out empty handed.

To be honest, that's what I was thinking. Also compared to other bookshops they were exceptionally spacious and not at all cramped, those High St rents ain't cheap.
