Leslie MacKay's Bookshop

Before last Christmas I wandered into one of the large chain bookstores in my local shopping centre with a list of fairly recent publications - mostly falling into the category known as "literary fiction", but also some biograhies and a collection of correspondence. None of the titles was particularly obscure. After a particularly unenlightening discussion with a member of staff I managed to find one book of the ten or so on the list. I gave up in disgust and went straight to Leslie MacKay. What a difference - at this shop the staff actually read. They will find things for you (although often they don't have to because often everything on your list is nicely displayed on the table as you walk in the door, plus several books you didn't know about but definitely need). If they don't have the publication you are looking for they ill willingly place an order for you , or, better still (when you are doing last minute shopping) recommend a suitable substitute. This is how a bookshop should be.
