| You know the old saying right, it takes a village to raise a bookshop.
It’s five years this month since we first opened our doors.
WHERE HAS IT GONE?!?!
We opened on a Thursday in April, 2021, two days after lockdown restrictions were lifted. Five people at a time came in to browse and welcome us (or rather just me, as it was at the time) to the neighbourhood, with a queue outside for much of the day. It was a wonderful thing to witness, even while struggling to work out how to use the till and order books on that first day.
Since then we’ve had five years of being well supported and made to feel like part of the community. We love being here, we think it’s the best place to be booksellers, and we look forward to being here for many more years to come.
We’d love you to join us this Saturday (25th April) for a little celebration of the bookshop’s fifth birthday. There will be 10% off books from the shelves all day (other than customer orders, sorry!) and from 4-8 we’ll be popping corks, eating cupcakes, talking (literary) nonsense and generally having a good old time.
We are full to bursting with great books. It’s been an incredibly strong year for publishing already, so there is an embarrasment of riches against which to wield your birthday discount. Come along and ask us for our favourites, tell us your favourites, argue about prize lists, drink us dry of prosecco, nosecco, and generally soak up the good will. We have an awful lot of it for you. Almost as much as we have good literature. |
