Name and location of shop: Stoke Newington Bookshop
Why you love it: The staff know their onions, and I'd trust their recs. Fantastic comics/GN section and kids'/YA section. Also, they're dog friendly, which my small dog Buffy is always grateful for, as whenever she goes, they make a huge fuss. Lots of beautiful hardbacks on display, too, including some gorgeous cookbooks. They get involved in the Stoke Newington Literary Festival and generally give me a real sense of community. Lovely shop all round.
What one book would you buy from there as a Christmas present, and who would you give it to: I usually pick things up at random that appeal to me, so I don't have a particular book in mind. But I'd definitely head straight to the comics section and pick out one of the lovely hardbacks there to tempt a comics virgin into trying a new medium. Perhaps Sally Heathcote, Suffragette? By Mary Talbot, Kate Charlesworth and Bryan Talbot. (If I buy one I don't have myself already then it will never get to the present wrapping stage… at least, not without being read first)
