If there is one shop we need in Accy, it is a decent independent bookshop, or failing that a Waterstones or a Books etc. The presence of good bookshops in any town is the finest indicator of the intellectual capital and the civil gravitas of its population. The absence of such an establishment in Accy speaks volumes (excuse the pun) for the present-day state of our town. No books, but lots of tat knocked out at a quid. Quite simply, a disgrace.
