Double Dose

Face A Book

With Kindle, iPads and Amazon slowly taking over the publishing world, bookstores are closing left and right. You may wonder why anyone would want to leave the comfort of their bed to go and buy a book when with just a click of a button, they could have it delivered to their door the very next day?

Good question. But here’s why: there are bookshops out there so beautiful they’re worth a visit.
