Ottakar's

Ah, it's a shame for poor old Ottakar's. Stuck in Buchanan Galleries, it's outshone by its big brother booksellers, such as Waterstone's and Borders. If Ottakar's had gone to school it would have been picked last for the sports teams, and its report would have read, 'average stock of books, average café, must try harder'. But as they say, it's always the quiet ones, and hidden away you can find the odd unusual edition that wasn't given shelf space in the larger bookstores.
