Well just buying someone and amazon voucher or something off their gift list may seems a little dull. In some ways you may as well just give them money (mind you most book lovers and certainly I am delighted to get something off my wish list or a voucher) But what is you want to be a bit more ambitious than that. A bit more quirky? Well I have been looking at Discovery Online Limited and I have found some gorgeous gifts for men (including those who love to read.) First up was the … [Read more...]

Much later when I was in my twenties another lovely bookshop opened up. It was rather wonderful it had a reading corner, a next day order service and staff you imagine … [Read more...]

The sea would inspire me and I would feel warmed by the sun and there would be a slight breeze coming in form the ocean. There would be white flowers everywhere and my desk would be glass and curved. I … [Read more...]
