Have you tried the Edinburgh Bookshops App yet?
The character of Edinburgh bookshops varies so incredibly with each shop offering something different. In addition to shelves upon shelves of books, each shop tells its own story of its role in the city. Transreal Fiction stocks a wide range of cuddly toys representative of sci-fi and fantasy and Edinburgh Books is ever under the watchful eye of Clarence, the stuffed water buffalo mascot.
The Edinburgh Reporter met up with Cat Clarke, a successful Edinburgh author and writer in residence at Looking Glass Books who helped us have a look at the app and showed us how easy it is to download and use!
