Yes, it would have been apt to have posted this in 2020 but I bought it this morning from the highly recommended Walden Books which, like the shop I work in, Black Gull, is one of the few surviving independent bookshops in London that's been around for over 40 years. Ironically, that which helped kill off many indies, online shopping, is now what keeps them afloat - adapt and survive. There's nothing like the browsing experience, though, because you come across titles that weren't in your head! Whilst bookshops, like the U.S.A in this novel, are 'disintegrating', we'll really miss the experience when they've all gone. Be warned...
