A large bookstore in a lot of ways. While great to just stroll around, pick some books off the shelves and have a look at them, I miss the bit of cozy feel. They now try to give that in their Harry Potter-section in the basement, but if you're not feeling the HP-fandom this is a part you can immediately skip. While the staff might have some personal recommendations the place doesn't feel like you'll walk up to them and ask for it either when looking for a birthday present or for something for yourself as your next read. However, their size gives them - as mentioned earlier - a great selection of all sorts of titles and genres and this is always nice. The space is big and open, letting in lots of daylight which is very nice when trying to pick a title.
