Today’s question: Favorite bookstores. What’s your favorite bookstore? Is it an online store or a bricks-and-mortar store? How often do you go book shopping? Is your favorite bookstore (or bookstores) listed as a favorite in LT? Do you attend events at local bookstores? Do you use LT to find events?

Well, I’ve mentioned it before, but my favourite bookshop is more for the location than the shop itself (which it a perfectly serviceable Waterstones) but the building (actually called The Wool Exchange) is nothing short of magnificent and a reminder of when Bradford was one of the main players in the world, during the industrial revolution.

It’s a lovely place to spend time, just browsing the shelves (and avoiding the 3 for 2 offers!). There is also a Starbucks on the mezzanine floor, which looks out over the shelves, or out through the huge glass window so you can sit and people watch.

I, don’t really use the “local” feature on Librarything much, perhaps I should!

Check out some pictures I found on flickr, of The Wool Exchange to see what I mean about the place!
