Advantages: Good range, good children's area, helpful staff

Disadvantages: You can lose a bit too much time!

Borders Brighton is a great bookshop and I remember thinking when it first opened that it was different from most others. There is such a good range of books, and also CDs with listening posts.

I like the fact it has a bit of a bustle; with the coffee shop at one end and the fab children's area at the other. Children's area is colourful and inviting with comfy seats. I also like the bit in the middle which is quiet enough to look through books on some of the random-placed seats. I think you could sit there all day and read a whole book, or have a little snooze while your friend tries on that dress for the third time... hey, some people probably do. It's like a little library - but without all the shushing.

What else is good is the downstairs bit where all the bestsellers and sale books are. This is great at Christmas as there is loads of display space which makes it more likely for items to jump out for that special someone. normally a comical, non-comittal 'Secret Santa' book can be found here too!

Summary: Good bookshop with coffee shop
