"Review of Borders"

Borders is absolutely GIGANTIC. Easily the biggest book shop in Cambridge. Has a childrens play area too, where they read stories to the kids, and a Starbucks Cafe for those who like that culture. 
 
I really do like Borders - very spacious and a great choice of titles. It's not the cheapest of book shops in Cambridge, but I would say it has the best choice. 
 
A stone's throw away is Galloway and Porter, who sell greatly reduced price books. Sometimes you can find the title you are looking for or similar there at a bargain price. It's worth checking first. 
 
But in my opinion, Borders has the most pleasurable book browsing experience of Cambridge's book shops. 
The shop has a very relaxed atmosphere - tables and chairs scattered around the 2nd and 3rd floors creating a no-pressure environment. It's nice to be able to pick up a book, have a read for 20 minutes [in comfort] and then put it back.
