Daunt Books Abroad

 You may remember that back in June, I blogged about the bookshop chain Daunt Books. Well, I saw someone carrying one of their bags again. Not in London, like last time, not in England in fact, but in Austria. In om Salzburg, to be precise. It was most likely a British tourist, but I thought it was nice to see it there. I know it was only a bag, nevertheless it's  nice that this small chain of indie bookshops is thriving, thriving enough to see their brand even when we are abroad. That's encouraging for literature and book lovers like myself.

Daunt Books

Yesterday, duringour trip to London (more on that in another post), I saw many people with bags from Daunt Books. As if they were all the rage. I have heard about Daunt Books before, it's a small but apparently very successful chain of "independent" bookshops. Judging by the number of people holding these bags, it seems that the chain it indeed thriving. I think I entered one or two of them, although I am not sure if I bought anything from Daunt Books. Be that as it may there are two things I take back from seeing these bags: 1)It's good to know that reading is still popular, especially in a metropolis like London 2)I am going to start collecting fancy bookshop bags. This is my new personal quest and my new personal hobby.
