It’s Independent Bookshop Week. Here’s a poem about one of the many reasons why indie bookshops are so brilliant.

@brianbilston Indie booksellers are superheroes! (So are librarians, but Tom Gauld has covered that already. :-) )
@titia Ah yes, I love those Tom Gauld comic strips.
@brianbilston we have a lovely little bookshop here in Cookham. Named, appropriately, The Little Bookshop. They are great at getting things.

An independent bookshop in the heart of the beautiful village of Cookham. We stock a wide range of books so you can discover new adventures, learn about new topics or simply pop in to meet other members of our local community.

@DoctorDNS I’ve encountered The Little Bookshop before. They’re fab!
@brianbilston my favourite story. Wife took a friend there. He asked Chantal (the owner) if she could recommend a book by someone he had not heard of, but should have? Without moving, she reached out and picked out a book. Which turned out to be a great read! Oh, and she has magiced up a copy of the #gratefuldead book on the wall of sound!
@DoctorDNS You don’t get that with Amazon.
@brianbilston and she is just the nicest person. Someone you enjoy living near! Degibately not likely with Amazon!
