Right then, a cuppa and a confession: I have never once left any of these places empty-handed, and my purse has the receipts to prove it. This is less a list and more a confession of where I go when the archive's gone quiet and I need somewhere with proper shelves (and ideally a biscuit nearby). Chorlton gets the lion's share, naturally; I'm hardly going to trek into town when the good stuff's on my own doorstep. Pop the kettle on and have a browse.

My Manchester bookshop rounds — 3 items
Name	Address	City	Specialty	My take
1Chorlton Bookshop	506 Wilbraham Road	Manchester	General fiction, non-fiction and a lovely children's corner	Been popping in since before some of the staff were born; they still know exactly what I'll like before I do.
2Didsbury Village Bookshop	Inside The Art of Tea, 47 Barlow Moor Road	Manchester	Second-hand books tucked behind a tea room	You have to walk through the teapots and scone crumbs to get there, which is half the charm, I think.
3Oxfam Books Chorlton	605 Wilbraham Road, Chorlton-cum-Hardy	Manchester	Donated second-hand books across every genre	My idea of a lovely Tuesday morning is an hour in here with no plan whatsoever.
