Books
Bookshop in London - Gower Street
BookXcess at The Gardens Rooftop in Kuala Lumpur is wonderful. I discovered many great books (including children's and picture books) at great prices over the years. The staff are book lovers and recommend books. Music is excellent there, too. Live piano in the evening from the restaurant.
The Library at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China is brilliant. I chanced upon Digital Minimalism and The Model Thinker on the new arrival shelves.
Dymocks, George Street, Sydney. I read The Shortest History of Economics on a couch.
I often used the University of Nottingham Malaysia Library in Semenyih during my undergraduate studies and when I worked there.
I started working at the Hallward Library at University Park, influenced by Chris Wilson.
