She also pointed out that grandparents provided free childcare.

It was 1987 and unbelievably exciting: an entirely new species of bookshop. The branch’s stock reflected its local audience well — obscure literary novels in translation and biographies of Rosa Luxemburg sharing shelf space with bonkbusters.
