Editor's Note: We hope that our online blog is like a pleasurable visit to the bookshop. Every day we meet and chat with fascinating people.

As you can imagine, people and books lead to topics of conversation that we can never predict. Or, if you like anonymity, this is your "quiet corner."

Come in. Stay a while. Read a book.

"Genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration."
