But I simply could not imagine bringing them to that location and NOT taking them into such a historic landmark.<\/p>\n<p>Walking into the shop however ended up being quite a pleasant experience, as we were greeted with a most appealing menu of new, and colorful good quality books on a wide variety of subjects fully stacked on shelves all around!<\/p>\n<p>Little wonder that the girls went on to explore and purchase multiple items - many of which turned out to be quite affordably priced. It was really refreshing to see the iconic bookshop looking rejuvenated and radiant in a manner befitting its status.
