点评:Top of my wish list this summer was meeting with a friend at Toppings and my word it did not disappoint.
Wonderful, helpful well-informed, patient staff are on hand to answer queries (and golly I put the system through its paces yesterday.. with my rather obscure enquiries)
and even serve you complimentary tea on your own tray in beautiful pottery cups.
Oh the the range of books is very impressive.. not just the most popular recent titles..
although those are there too..
on (three?) floors,
shelving all up all of the walls, packed with fascinating titles and window seats you can sit in and drink tea and read on.
The most relaxing yet exciting ambiance.
The kind of place I dreamed of as a child but didn't imagine really existed.
I love Ely but may be its just as well I don't live there: I'd find it difficult to tear myself away.
Oh and the loos are very clean:)
Hearty thanks..
from Karen
翻译:今年夏天,我最期待的事情就是和朋友一起去Toppings见面,而它果然没有让我失望。
这里的工作人员非常友善、乐于助人且知识渊博,随时准备解答各种疑问——昨天我提出了一些相当冷门的问题,他们也耐心地给予了解答。
他们甚至会用漂亮的陶制杯子,把免费的茶送到你手中的托盘上。
这里的藏书种类之丰富真是令人惊叹……不仅有最近最受欢迎的畅销书,其实那些也一应俱全……书店共有三层楼。四周的墙壁上摆满了书架,上面堆满了各种引人入胜的书籍;还有窗边的座位,你可以坐在那里喝茶、看书。
氛围既放松又令人心潮澎湃。
这是我小时候梦寐以求的地方,原以为它根本不会存在呢。
我喜爱伊利镇,不过或许我不住在那里反而更好:不然我恐怕很难离开吧。
哦,这里的厕所也非常干净哦:)
衷心感谢……
