Online shopping

I am amazed at how many people in this area have become adept at o­nline shopping. Anything and everything –  books, media, computers, wine, flowers, books, clothes, diy, paints etc…. The trouble is, I tend to leave it too late when it comes to Christmas shopping. Ho hum! I suppose it serves me right. Mind you, there is nothing so satisfying as browsing round a good bookshop. There is something about the feel of the book: its cover, appearance, pictures and layout, which tells you almost at a glance whether you will enjoy it. And it is very subjective. If you can choose a book for someone and get it right, then you have done a remarkable thing.
