Signal boosting a message from our fellow Indie Bookshop, the excellent Argonaut Books on Leith Walk:

"We need your help. Waterstone's, without any direct communication with us, will be opening their 6th Edinburgh branch less than 100 metres from our front door at the Foot of the Walk in Leith.

Please read on for more information: https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/25629089.waterstones-open-prime-site-beside-independent-shop/ "

This has happened before when the large chain, which *promised* not to open a smaller branch near an existing Indie Bookshop, tried to do so in Edinburgh's Stockbridge, only to face a barrage of criticism as it was close to the excellent Golden Hare Bookshop (they claimed they hadn't realised this and did eventually withdraw plans). Now this.

Sharing this for fellow #Edinburgh bookshop lovers as Argonaut is a fabulous Indie, and also a number of our local authors often do their writing right there in their coffee shop, next to the books.

#WhatWereReading : Joe enjoyed the Japanese bestseller, Dinner at the Night Library by Hika Harada, translated by Philip Gabriel.

Otaha starts working in the library, which archives the literary collection of deceased authors, and where the live-in chef prepares meals based on those in novels.

Ideal for those who enjoyed Before the Coffee Gets Cold, or Days at the Morasaki Bookshop. Out now from Scriber Books
