It's Independent Bookshop Week and at my local, Gloucester Road Books, I spoke with the lovely owner, Tom about community, sharing and the brilliant books being published by independent presses
We’re lucky enough to have two fully independent bookshops in our small town, and we’ve both been here for over 20 years! Loved reading about Tom’s shop and how he organises things - there’s much inspiration here! Thank you so much.
Love this article. I support independent bookshops as much as possible here in Ireland. We are hanging on to one in my town. Love the way books are categorized in this bookshop. A brave move opening during COVID.
Love this post, love that shop, and my favourite place in it is just in front of the independent publishers section, half browsing and half talking to Tom about what I pull off the shelves. A delight.
