Love that book case in the tree, I have myself seen quite a few in Nl and other countries. I think it is a great idea, it is also handy for the spies to pass on secret messages.

I went through a phase of using a kindle, downloading books from the piratebay saved me a fortune, But it lost its appeal and I returned to paper. There is something ,agical about opening a new book and sticking ya nose in and inhaling. Then page turning is a better experience than finger flicking IMHO.

Sadly the high streets do not have many independent sellers these days and I have to rely on the corporate waterstones or the supermarkets for my stuff. Oh! and I have a book case, I tend to only keep non fiction books there. The fiction usually goes to charity shops
