Read all about it… One City tops list of borrowed titles

The Scotsman Reports one collection of short stories by Edinburgh authors has beaten Harry Potter to become the city’s most borrowed library book.

One City – which features stories by Irvine Welsh, Ian Rankin and Alexander McCall Smith – has surprised librarians by taking the top spot ahead of any of fellow Edinburgh author JK Rowling’s best-selling Potter books.

But she will not be too disappointed that One City has knocked her latest bestseller into second place – for she wrote the collection’s introduction.
