BEN’S BLOG: ‘Taschen at Sloane Square’

[dropcap]H[/dropcap]ave you been to the Taschen shop in Sloane Square? WEB SITE It’s my favourite bookshop in London. Okay, it’s not really a normal bookshop. But the books themselves, and also the Staff; have real flair. Both are high quality and take pride.

Everything now, has to be KFC-style; base-level, aimed at the lowest-common-denominator, with enormous institutions, simply in the middle, nicking a couple of pence per deal. It’s rare for a business to be serving-up such premium goods (and surviving). I wish them the best of luck. This is a SPECIAL shop, Blog, and their coffee-table-books make for superb gifts. Anyway; they have a sale on, for the next couple of days…SO CHECK IT OUT..!
