  Nice and stylish place with LOTS of books, so you won't leave without one. I wish there were more sofas or places to chill, but otherwise it's still one of the coolest bookstores I've been to

  I've never been able to figure out who exactly goes to ABC, besides students as they offer a special discount for this group of readers. They are one of the best stocked stores on graphic novels and manga's, but I've never once found a novel that I liked in any other department. The store is a lot more quiet and lighter than the (very nearby located) Waterstones, and the staircase is done beautifully, which makes it an attractive place to spent a bit of time. But when focusing solely on books, I will recommend other places in the city.
