Manchester bookshops I love

Right — I know I say this about half the coffee shops in Chorlton too, but genuinely, these are the bookshops I keep going back to between patients, between gigs, between everything. There's something about a proper indie shop that just resets my whole nervous system — flat white in hand, no appointments, just spines. I've bunged in the big chains too because honestly sometimes you just need Waterstones and a sit down. Anyway, go see them before you tell yourself you'll do it 'next weekend' like I always do.
