Browsing

Waterstones book shop today. I could spend all day in this shop even though I have Kindle proper books are still my first love.

Three good things:
1. A day in town with Cathy; coffee & toasted tea cake in M&S.
2. Our electric bill was much cheaper today, we have moved from business to domestic.
3. The three horses escaped out of their field last night but went straight past our gate into poor Janet's garden. We will be shutting the gate tonight!

Love a good book shop you should visit Foyles in London

[Beryl Lloyd]

Lovely shot Pat -- its so good to brows -- it's amazing how time quickly passes by !

[Rick Schies]

I agree, love to browse around the shelves

[Hazel]

Love books, don't even want a kindle. Lovely colours accentuated by that lady's nice blue mac.

Who doesn't like a good book shop. My favourites have a coffee shop within!

[Dianne]

Lovely - a great way to spend time. I agree - I love my kindle, but there will always be something special about a 'real' book.

Looks like a great book shop..nice capture

[Judith Greenwood]

Uh oh - the same lovely horses you were photographing? It would be a loss to humanity if Kindle killed Waterstones so I do feel bad about using it! I'm on Luminaries still - proper book and I'm glad I persevered as I'm enjoying it.

[Pat Knowles]

@judithg interesting ...I have looked at Luminaries & thought it looked heavy going might get a sample. Have just finished my trash mystery book was rather good! Do much choice at Waterstones.

[Judith Greenwood]

@happypat well I'd hesitate to recommend it because it's page 200 before it gets going! I'm quite excited because the latest Nicci French is out apparently. The series with the days of the week in the title (starting with Blue Monday) is really good if you like murders and Love Nina by Nina Stibbe is just a lovely read (& a bit different as it's a series of letters - very witty).

[Pat Knowles]

@judithg will check it out Judith...ready for a new book tonight. Saw what looked quite an interesting book called The Man who Forgot his Wife today in the shop...have downloaded a sample ....might be just for my age type people!

Good capture. I love Waterstones and have been known to buy a book because I like the size and feel of it! Crazy I know. I would be devastated if Waterstones closed down.

[Susan Golding]

Superb capture of a book shop. Everyone loves a bookshop !

[Jen Hudson]

Great capture, can just feel those books. Nothing like them even though kindles have their place too.

[Phil Howcroft]

a nice posh waterstones in Preston by the look of it Pat

[Jocasta]

Great photo of Waterstones - their shops are always an oasis wherever you are. My husband comes from the Preston area - small world.

[Sue Wilde]

Such an inviting looking shop. Love your PoV

[Chris Stapleton]

Great candid shot

[Babs]

Oh I just love book shops. I fear they are in decline now though. At least we have a fantastic second hand book shop in Newcastle and there is always Abe Books and the Book Depository.

[Maggie]

Who doesn't love a good browse in a book shop - and the smell and feel of new books.
Excellent indoor shot.

[Cazla]

Yes even with kindles there is still something lovely about browsing round a book shop.

[Gillian]

Bookstores are my first love! I still haven't gone down the Kindle road so my local book stores have nothing to fear ;)

[Al Bailey]

Lovely capture ...... there is a fabulous tea house down Canon street called the mystery tea house - unusual but very nice place! :)

[Pat Knowles]

@willowdragon I've seen it Al....have you been in? I have a photo around as a filler somewhere in my stash of pics.

[Al Bailey]

@happypat Yea .... been in with Mike as it's one of his favourite haunts. I was most fascinated by his blooming tea! can't say a flower in a teapot does much for me but the cherry juice was lovely :)
