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
- antique books.
- only books on a specialised topic.
The shop should be predominantly selling books, but may sell other product lines e.g. stationery, calendars, newspapers & magazines.

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 around the building/shop perimeter and then place the cafe within this as a separate node
. If you prefer not to add the bookshop outline, just place a node
at the approximate centrepoint, but map the cafe as a separate node
.
