General Comments

Borders - I'm one of these sad people who like wandering around book stores, getting lost in and around shelves packed full of novels and just generally taking in the sights and smells of a book retailer.

Borders is one of those places where you could stay all day browsing their wares. Flicking through books that you will never buy and looking interested in that £60 hardback you wouldn't be seen dead purchasing.

Friendly staff and knowledgeable too about their stock and a huge selection of books, DVD's, board games and magazines some domestic and a lot imported. I like it.

The only drawback about Borders though is the lure of Starbucks. That strong smell of coffee and cake is usually too much, especially if you have been browsing long and the result is usually a quick purchase and then a queue for a coffee and a muffin.
