   Love the angle - I'm expecting some of the books on the right to start flying off the shelves with a life of their own, like Harry Potter!

   I get that feeling when I'm in the shop for real, too!

   This is one of these pictures where I have a fleeting impulse to straighten it up, but then realise that would kind of spoil it...

   Although the librarian in me wants to bring order, perferably alphabetical.
   Do you mind it I use this as a wall paper on my work PC?

   Wow. That looks like an amazing bookstore. Great shot. I agree it should stay slanted, give is character.

    Yes,thanks for the note.....I work here all the time.....This is looking from the theology and classical music towards the front of the shop....The little curved bookcase at the very end came from a house in Cardonald area,complete with nice leather-bound tomes....Boris lives here,as well as some other places....His real house is.....As you leave the shop,you look to your right and see some mews cottages...He lives there with a young couple who have another cat...Boris has various places that he knows will feed him.....Our shop is one of them.......Eddie........

    great great pic man! I always wanted to spend hours taking pictures to the library of Glasgow Uni, which looks amazing as well btw, but I never did it. I am not missing any other library, hehe! very nice one!
