Plan B Books is a new comic/graphic novel/coffee shop in Glasgow. It's located on the street behind Mono on the street perpendicular to the thirteen note. It's right next to some old music rehearsal studios that I used to go to years ago and it's just round the corner from A1 comics.
Plan B are trying to fill a big hole in Glasgow by selling the arty comic books that don't really fit in Forbidden Planet. They sell stuff like peep show by Joe Matt, Grandville by Bryan Talbot and Joe Sacco stuff. Comics with big words that are meant to make you think. They also sell coffee. They also carry European stuff like Asterix and some manga including 20th century boys and akira. All good stuff.
Opening a shop like this in the middle of the biggest fucking recession ever is a brave move but I hope they are successful. Go in, have a coffee and buy a book if you can. You would be making the world a better place.
Their address is
5 Osbourne Street
