And you've made me go and look at their website again for the first time in a little while - just the front page has some wonderful new books on it. And it's interesting to hear what you say about the book covers. I was quite disgusted that Deborah Ellis' <em>I Am a Taxi</em> was changed to <em>The Prison Runner</em> in the UK. Why? I can't imagine it was immediately obvious to a Canadian audience either? But it's still the same, wonderful story between the covers and I have put it under quite a few young people's noses!

Holy smokes - just went on their website and I am so impressed by their selections. Maybe it is good thing they don't ship to North America as I could easily spend a small fortune ordering from them. An interesting observation after visiting the website is the different covers of some books as compared to what we have here in Canada (Deb Ellis' books in particular). Thanks for sharing with us and including the photos! Marj -

What a wonderful article this is. And I love that there’s a website–turns it into a bookstore for the whole world. What a wonderful article this is.

It makes the space look cozy and lived in--which, in turn, makes me want to sit on the floor to browse and read! I love the fact that there aren’t enough bookshelves for all the books.

It looks like a great bookstore. Gotta stop in when we’re in London, for sure! It looks like a great bookstore.
