Mes Amis
Well, Mr Smith (In his dark suit and sunglasses) just beat me to the punch in the comments when I was about to say that the problem is also that people just don't know if there is a local bookshop (and if I don't know about a bookshop locally I consider that a sad fact).
I have just done an internet search for Scottish bookshops. A good percentage are second hand/antiquitarian and most of the independents are centred round Edinburgh and Glasgow except:
Wigtown: Scotland's national Booktown
Which I never knew of before (never even heard the name!).
I feel a bookish road trip is called for.
Au revoir
Russel

maybe we could combine it in our oft proposed coffee tour of scotland?
There's a festival there every year (I think). The Crim Minds bunch got an invite there last year, but their conditions were... a bit weird. And it's in the arse end of nowhere.
I've certainly never heard of it, which means that even though I'm woefully ignorant of my homeland it probably is in the arse end of nowhere.
And looking round the website I'm somehow not surprised that the conditions were a bit... weird... But at least they have bookshops...
And, Becs, I had forgotten the grand coffee tour. Mmmmmm... coffee...
