I go in for one card and come out with three paperbacks, every single time - it's a disease, love, but a very pleasant one! These are my D7 and city-centre haunts, the shops where the staff know my face and I know which shelf creaks. Perfect for a Sunday after the Manor Street queue when you need something to read with the strong coffee!
