The Bookshop Book

Are bookshops still relevant? They certainly are.
All bookshops are full of stories, and stories want to be heard.

walking into a good bookshop is like walking into another zone.

We’ve always used stories as a way to pass on our history, as a way to explain things in life that we don’t understand. We use them to make us feel connected to everything around us, and to help us escape to another time or place.
