Bookstore tips for St Peter Port

A few things worth knowing before you work through St Peter Port's bookstores:

• Support the shop's own publishing at Mostly Books. Some independents publish local authors or print their own anthologies. Buying them funds the ecosystem directly.
• Kids' sections are goldmines. Even without kids. The picture-book art alone is worth the browse, and the middle-grade shelves hold genuine classics.
• Note the shop's specialties. Sci-fi, travel, art books, philosophy — every good shop leans somewhere. Find the lean that matches yours.
• Check the bargain carts outside. Sidewalk carts are the shop's clearance rack. A dollar a book, and the turnover is fast.
