With free wi-fi, too. Definitely the sort of place one could hang out in for a while, but I do wonder whether the economies of this kind of enterprise really work out - can you honestly generate enough income from selling coffee for the relatively small number of tables/chairs to cover rent/staff/materials/wi-fi/overheads for the week? This, alas, is why I'll never be an entrepreneur - too timid to take such risks (and also, too devoid of imagination to come up with such concepts).<br /><br />Scott Westerfeld's <a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2009/10/06/scott-westerfelds-le.html"><i>Leviathan</i></a>, ordered on Friday, arrived yesterday - <i>that</i> was speedy service for free delivery! For more YA Steampunk, I've also been pointed at <a href="http://www.hunchbackassignments.com/">The Hunchback Assignments</a>. But it's Leviathan first.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=slowfox&ditemid=63649" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
