Analogue
39 Candlemaker Row,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2QB

Voltaire & Rousseau
12–14 Otago Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8PB
A silent, dusty, temple to the pleasures of reading, Voltaire and Rousseau represents second hand book-shopping in its most perfect form. Piles upon piles upon piles of books, arranged in only the vaguest semblance of order, spill out from the shelves…
