What are your impressions of the bookstore Waterstones?

I really like it!  My local one in Swansea is very relaxing and in a lovely old building (used to be a theatre).  It has a very wide range of books and the staff are very experienced and helpful.  What I like about W'Stones is that they have a section of books chosen as favourites by the staff and they've all written their reviews on them.  It adds a personal touch and gives me inspiration.

I went to one at Brannigans a couple months ago.  I think folks at the Brockway Mercantile would know...they seem to keep up with everything.

If you live in London, Friend's House Bookshop in Euston Rd has a good selection.

This store started off great but as it has grown it has changed.  The personal service is out the window and their website is the worst.  If I can't shop online it's annoying.  I like http://www.bedbathstore.com/ for catalog shopping, because bedbathandbeyond.com is very boxy and unfriendly.  Linens are not something I need to go to a huge megastore in order to wait on line for.

Now I know all ya professor type people look down on us cause of our trailers an s***. Let me tell you. Mine is fine. Double wide with real blocks under it. \n\nSee, now I would shop there. Sounds like a good store. I like good furniture. Specially if it has flowers and shiny wood s*** on it. But I don't want people to think I'm puttin on airs. I want my friends to feel at home. Don't want some fussy thing like a table ya have to put those stupid little round things under every beer can. Don't want a couch that you have to worry about the cat throwing up on. \n\nJust good furniture. Solid. American style. Not that girlie crap from Norway or Sweden or whatever goofy country that makes that s***.

I needed an inexpensive getaway; I went to Google and put in 'retreat centres'.  I found a centre near me that offered spiritual counselling, massage, Reiki and other holistic treatments.  While the price list seemed high, they were willing to negotiate and lower prices so everyone could take advantage of their services.  \n\nThey were willing to take $10 a night for lodging compared to $30 and let me bring my own food so I didn't have to pay for their meals.  They also had acres of walking paths, so when I needed time to just think and be with my own thoughts, I could walk and walk-which was all at no cost.

Great question! No, really!\nI've heard the bathroom referred to as "the library", "the study", "the office". All great references to a place where you have a reasonable expectation of privacy. But the reading material... ah that is almost sacred. My dad had a magazine basket. He always had a copy of the infamous "Jokes For The John" handy. And of course the latest copy of "Mechanics Illustrated". I learned a lot about mechanical things as a result of that exhaustive literary archive.\nI must admit there is just such a basket in my home now, after all these years. It is filled with old copies of "US" and "People" and "Readers Digest" though. Not the masculine fare I grew up with. The reason? It's not my basket, it's hers!\nSo I guess it really is a cross-gender phenomenon. Don't get me wrong, I do have my favorite reading material. "Jazz Times" is good, "Gourmet" oddly enough. So "what's the perfect companion in times of complete relaxation" you ask? The latest Harley Davidson catalog of course! All the accessories, the chrome, the custom sheet metal kits, the new tachs, the leather bags. Oh, oh! How could life be better? It could not! Fifteen to thirty minutes of privacy and relative silence with a Harley catalog. OH! It's like closing your eyes and waking up in heaven. It's akin to my granddaughter's perception of Disney World. It's Nirvana. It's Shangri-la. It's the Seventh Heaven! It's like being on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise just as Jon-Luc gives the command to "fire all phasers" or "fire proton torpedos, full battle spread". Are you kidding me? It is the very thread of life itself.\nTo not read in the bathroom is, is, is, to not breath the air that sustains life. To withhold the blood that pulses through our veins. To order a tall three-shot latte and pour it out on the ground. It is impossible to even think about! It cannot, indeed, it must not be contemplated. Who are you and what have you done with the real gudrun077?

It's in stores now!!\n\nOur new DVD "The Last Supper: Live at the Hammerstein Ballroom" is in stores today! This was recorded on the last stop of this year's spring tour, in New York City. Coming home to NY is always a good time for us, and we feel privileged to have captured those moments in our lives that we'll now have forever to share with all of you!\n\nIt is a very special day for me in particular, because The Prize Fighter Inferno's "My Brother's Blood Machine" is also in stores today! This record has been a long time coming, it encompasses about 8 years of ideas, mostly just me messing around in my free time that turned into something I'm really proud of.

I saw it. And I liked it very much.\n\nThe movie was a very good representation of the book.\n\nBooks always have more background and more details.\n\nSome things were changed or deleted, to keep\nthe story moving, but all-in-all my wife and\nI thought the movie exceeded the expectations\nwe had about what the movie could have been.\n\nBravo!!

If you have a particular bookshop in mind call the owner or manager and ask if you can interview him or her. Prepare a list of questions before you go such as : When was the store opened? Who was the owner? Why did they open it? What kind of books did they stock then? What kind of books do you stock now? Why the change? How you had any authors visit the store? Who are your customers? Are they different then the kind of people you have had in the past? And so on.\nAlso contact your local public library and see if they have or can help you get any articles on the bookstore. Have fun.

My dad was a bookseller and I grew up in a bookstore, so I hate it that I love amazon ... but I do.  They've gotten every order right for years, quick, efficient, inexpensive.  Free shipping at $25.00!  I really think it helps spread literacy.\n\nSomething many of my bookworm friends dont' seem to realize, you can use your USA account in the UK amazon.  I bought a book on amazon.co.uk six months before it came out in the states.  Woo Woo!

Try Southopia on Kennington Park Road (Elephant and Castle tube).  As a man I've never been there but my lesbian friends tell me it's cool and it sounds quite plush.  Enjoy.
