Palas Print, One of Britain's best Independent shops The Guardian

Caernarfon in the rain can be a challenging prospect, and it does rain a lot in this bit of north Wales. But if you ever want to take shelter in one of Britain's best independent bookshops, step inside. Run by Eirian lames and Selwyn Jones, it brilliantly combines English-and Welsh-language books, reflecting an area where more than half the population has Welsh as tts first language. It stocks a lot of fiction by Welsh writers working in English, but, unlike some bookshops, doesn't give it the patronising label "local books". It puts it on the general fiction shelf. "So Owen Sheers has to battle it out with Carol Shields," James says. It is also strong in poetry (in both languages) and Welsh history. It turned 10 this year, and is a great place to hang out, rain or shine. Stephen Moss Palas Print, 10 Stryd y Plas, Caernarfon, Gwynedd; palasprint.com
