Doors opened 1.6 hours ago. Beyond them, more books than you could carry. We've tried, because we're experts at that kind of thing. We managed 50, which is approximately 0.13% of our total stock. You're welcome to try and beat that. As long as you buy them afterwards, obviously.

Here's a fun fact: if you were to take all the books in the world, all the bookshops would go out of business, because you'd have all the books. Why would you do that? Why?

Overheard in the bookshop; 'Mummy, I'm putting this in my bag' - Winter (aged 3) 'No you're not, because that would be stealing' 'Not if they don't know about it' That's the sort of twisted 3-year-old logic that we cannot endorse but kinda respect.
