The bookseller Topping & Company run a small number shops in the UK and one of them is in Edinburgh, Scotland. Its shop looks as if it’s a private collection but it’s more open and inviting and a great place to pick out a new release or a blast from the past.
I walked around and found myself climbing, cornering, and lingering in cubbyhole corners as I looked around. It’s an intriguing example of a complex interior to an old building. They’ve stuffed bookshelves everywhere, with a few spaces left to hang out.
