Cosy, peaceful bookshop where shelves are packed with a broad range of titles spanning fiction, non-fiction, travel and plenty more besides
Ran out of recent photos to post, so I went back to pics of my last trip to Bangkok to create a mini series of building interiors seen there. This was the beautiful modern bookshop found at the top of the very stylish Central Embassy mall.
Another interior view of the book store at the top of the Central Embassy mall in Bangkok, Thailand.
It's already the 15th of February here but still not too late to wish you in the West a Happy Valentine's Day :-)

I have always believed that some books find us long before we think to look for them.
This afternoon I wandered into the little bookshop at the end of the square, intending only to escape the chill for a few moments. The bell above the door gave its familiar welcome, and the scent of old paper, polished wood, and well-loved stories wrapped itself around me like an old friend.
I chose a book almost without thinking.
Not because I had been searching for it...
But because it seemed to be waiting patiently for me.
I carried it to the window where the last light of the afternoon rested upon the cobbled street. Outside, the village continued about its quiet business. Inside, time seemed content to slow until each turning page became a small conversation between strangers who somehow understood one another.
It has always amazed me that words written by someone I shall never meet can still find the exact corner of my heart that needed them.
Perhaps that is the quiet miracle of books.
They remind us that we have never been as alone as we imagined.
When I finally closed the cover, I realised the room had grown darker...
Yet somehow everything felt a little brighter.

Tout fait musique dans le livre, pour peu qu'on ait l'oreille : le dos d'un volume cousu émet, quand on l'ouvre, d'imperceptibles pétillances, celui d'un vieux livre de poche un sinistre craquement qui amorce l'effeuillage ; le grain du papier feule et la couverture vibre sous les doigts de l'impatient. Mais le plus beau des bruits est celui des pages non massicotées que l'on coupe. Annie François
This bookshop is the oldest in Sweden and was started in 1815 - 100x the 2015 Edition.

This photo was taken by Sophie, during her recent visit to this wonderfully sprawling philosophy bookshop in Rome, Italy.
Sophie tells me that "the bookshop's resident cat was very helpful and recommends Kierkegaard for existential crises".

I am about ready to cry because I had all 2000 characters typed up and then Flickr decided to time-out, and I had already deleted my back-up of what I typed up. It took me sixteen minutes to figure out and type what I was going to say, and now I am simply too tired to re-think and re-type it up. And the internet at home is even worse than when we were using an extender to boost it off of the WiFi from the main house when we were away. Excuse me whilst I scream and punch my pillow.
I think the only important thing to say now is my apology for this being late and that this photo was taken in an amazing bookshop that, if you are in the area, is well worth a visit - the people are lovely, the books are all amazing (they have quite a cool photography shelf on the fifth(?) floor, along with a map and world languages room, and they have a music room and so many cool rooms. Honestly, I think even my brother enjoyed it to an extent. It is in Buxton - 42, the High Street - you cannot miss it.
