你与这书店之间的生活：
是兼职打工下班后会转过去看看书休息一下的安静角落。 书店店门的边缘是红色漆，比较小的一花窗玻璃门，推开时还需用大典力气，进去后是一个短而狭长的走廊，墙壁上挂满了约克和英国各个地区的风景图，在即将走进店内的转角，摆放了很多的有旧旧封面的黑胶唱片CD，才50P一张！ （相当于7.5元）走进去，每个角落里都是书，每块区域都很小很精致，过道里只能容下一个人走，所以经常会听到轻声地sorry 和thank you, cheers… 整个书店有三层，包括地下室和阁楼。书店老板经常是拿着一本书，即使书店开门时风铃清脆地叮一声，也不抬头地看着。他人拿着选好的书来reception时，他才起身，说句，thank you, 然后顺便和你讲讲这本书为什么值得你来买。
Relationship with the bookstore:
It is a quiet corner for me every time when I was off from the previous part-time job. The margin of the bookstore is painted with the deep red varnish. Flower window door supported by a wood step, small but heavy. I have to push it with a little bit more power to get in. There is a narrow aisle decorated with frame pictures of the scenery of York and other places of UK. At the end of the aisle, a platform with various classic LP (Long Play) presents in front of you. A big discount: 50p for each. Then you will see a totally different world. Books are everywhere. Each area is tiny but elegant. Too narrow to parallel with more than one person, so you always can hear whispers such as sorry, thank you and cheers. The whole bookstore is a three-layer structure including the basement and the attic. The owner of this bookstore holds a book sitting by the window all the time lonely, quietly and peacefully. When customers come to the reception ask for information or pay for the book, he then stands up, murmurs with thank you and with some recommendations about this book you have chosen.
