I own a specialty store with 35 employees and a 32,000 square foot building. Portobello Road is my favorite store in the world. I visit every time I am on the island.
It begins with the music being played in the store. Not radio, or random songs, but really good music with a great deal of thought behind every song. And thought behind the selection of books, signs, toys, gifts, art, music. The actual selection is not the point. They are not connected by a subject or a category. They are connected by a point of view. I can feel the thought behind every decision to place every item on the shelf. And it all works with the feeling behind the layout, and,,, the music!
Portobello Road isn't a very big store, but the proprietor seems to have filled it up with stuff scientifically designed to part me from my money. There are a few books, maybe 50-100 titles, of which I either had read or wanted to read about 80%. There were New Yorker cartoon notecards and refrigerator magnets. There were vintage signs and framed photos, beautiful home accessories, and irresistible notebooks and other stationery products and gifts. It required incredible strength of will to get out of there for less than $100. You have been warned.
I did not want to leave this bookstore. I loved every nook and cranny and the music playing was fantastic! Warm, inviting, eclectic selection of new and old books. I fell in love with the some of the Children's books. What a great place!
