What makes us very different is we have (1)a couple of unique points. (2) In terms of our stock , we keep our stock levels low, and we change them (3)constantly ? so we get new books every day. Each book is (4)handpicked. It does not matter to me whether it’s a (5)bestseller or it’s from a very small (6)indie press if I think that the customers in my area will enjoy it and I think it’s a book (7)worthy of being on the shelf.

Our bestsellers and most popular things tend to be the things that we have been reading and enjoyed because people would ask us for (1)recommendations (2)all the time. Most of our day is people asking us, “Oh, do you have a good book?” So , we’ve just been recommending new (3)Murata. (4)Earthlings ? crazy, (5)mad, brilliant ? written by (6)Convenience Store Woman, which was a (7) massive bestseller here. She just has a really, really unusual way of writing ? it’s really (8)accessible, even though the, often the (9) subject matter or the location is foreign. So , the first ones, Convenience Store Woman, it was a woman that was set in a Japanese convenience store , which most people have not seen in Britain. But the way that she writes allows us to kind of (10) inhabit and (11)visualise that, which is great.
