Yup, it made the drive to Sutton more bearable. Maybe not for my wife though.

Next week.
I was only going to apply for office jobs, I'd decided I wanted to work in a civilised sitting down position. But I was tricked into applying at the last minute by the lovely books.

I'd luuuuurrrve to work in a bookshop. Is it a chain or a (soon-to-be-closed-down 
) independent one?
Chain. Here is a clue:
My first is in water, my last is in stones.

I rather liked Borders.

Me too. Although Waterstones is one of my favourite places to browse for books before buying them on Amazon.*
*I know. I hate myself too.

Yes. I hope the book store in the town will survive Amazon and the Ebook etc. Good luck I hope you get the job! We need book lovers in book shops!

Well I was writing it before reading your post lol. But I love proper bookstores. I don't sniff at them.
Quote: zooo @ July 10 2010, 11:04 PM BSTHaha!
You won't be laughing when you're watching me browse with intent to buy somewhere else!
3 for 2 at Waterstones remember Rob!

I know, and I do buy there fairly often. To be honest I do most of my book-buying in charity shops. That way, the authors lose out, too.

Authors want to be read not rich.
