Not for those used to the faceless efficiency of superstores or amazon.com., Foyles is, nevertheless, quite charming. There are excellent opportunities for leisurely browsing through its huge stock. It has also become much more organised in recent years, and the company has even gone so far as to modernise the logo and do away with its famously complicated system for buying books, which people admired until they actually wanted to buy something. The layout is still pretty haphazard, though: you may have to spend a while wandering round its many floors before finding what you're looking for. But, as long as you've got the time, that's part of the pleasure of Foyles. Famous for their literary lunches and now organising evening events (for a minimal charge) with the likes of Will Self, it's well worth dropping by. Review © 2009, Wcities |
