A shop selling books like:

  • a massive bookstore as part of a chain (e.g. "Barnes & Noble", "Books etc", "Blackwells").
  • a small shop or market stall.
  • second hand books. See special tagging scheme

Cafes inside bookshops

It's quite common for large bookshops to have a little cafe inside. The best way to map these details, is to represent the large bookshop as a area area around the building/shop perimeter and then place the cafe within this as a separate node node. If you prefer not to add the bookshop outline, just place a node node at the approximate centrepoint, but map the cafe as a separate node node.
