Ottakar's. Wow. That takes me back. They used to be a smaller operation, right? West Country? I seem to remember going to one- in Bristol, maybe?- when I was on that side of the Pond. They had a good selection of science fiction, as I recall. Glad to hear they've expanded their operation.Elmo wrote: lol
well, all my local Borders, Waterstones/Ottakers have got at least a few of their bookshelves given over to manga, so I've been assuming that it's the same all around England, no?
I used to spend a lot of time at W. H. Smith- I think that was the chain at the time- and at the wonderful and labyrinthine Blackwell's Norrington Room. That place was like my dream or my nightmare or both, something out of a Borges story or The Name of the Rose.
I found a few really small but pretty nifty comic book stores, too. I wonder if they're still around...
It makes me happy to hear that more British stores are selling manga. I noticed British release dates for anime in some magazines, but I wasn't sure what the status of manga was. Thanks for the info.
