It should only be open daytime, if it's a bookstore. Guests come to find new books, or go through second-hand bookshelves and maybe leave some books as well for others to pick up. Just coffee, tea, juice and sandwiches/cakes/buns/cookies. And perhaps you can bring your pets too.
Pets are ok, but no talking parrots please.

It should also be mentioned that Amanda and Bertrand are not the usual leg-rubbing bookstore cats, but are usually perched at the top of the bookcases just waiting for their moment to attack.

So I think I'll have to make a ruling that no pets whatsoever -- not even emotional-support animals -- will be allowed here.

Ok, I'll leave my goldfish at home then.

I'm thinking of bringing my sloth (sengångare in Swedish). By the time she reaches the bookstore, I will be on my way back home.

Sir Earl the Pearl, your post got me thinking.

I had an electrician in to check the wiring, and was glad to learn it had been modernized just a few years ago, so we should be able to support live bands without blowing all the fuses.

I'm thinking let's have Jazz Nights on Saturday evenings around 8 PM. By then most people will be rested instead of Friday-night crabb ...[text shortened]... o bed afterward, and it wouldn't overlap prime clubbing hours for the younger people.

Sound good?
Sounds good, amigo

We have a great bookstore here which doubles as a cat rehoming centre and coffeeshop. You don't need your cat destroying the furniture at home, you can just visit your furry friends often with the excuse of needing more reading matter. You wouldn't reconsider the pet ban, would you?

Waterstones is a book store chain here in the UK who have managed to go big without completely losing that small bookshop feel. Comfy chairs, barstools, coffee, juices, cakes and pastries and that lovely smell of books as you wander the isles and stands.

You have some nerve trying to form a rapport with me over our common love of the smell of books.

We already have two cats in the store: Amanda and Bertrand.

Some people might find them to be challenging, but they really are friendly in their own way.

Mail order?

And when she adopts some flying goldfish (this is inevitable), they would also be disallowed, for the fishes' sake.

(psst: "aisles" not "isles" -- and by "wander" did you mean "prowl about"?)

By the time you could see me, it would be too late.

BTW, you used to be fun. What happened?
