World Book Day 2024. My favourite moment of the day was a little girl (maybe 5 or 6 years old) asking me if I was a pirate. When I replied ‘yes I am’ she delightedly said, ‘I knew it!’ 😃 😂
#WorldBookDay

Popped into Westwood Books in Sedbergh today & met this fellow. Managed to pick up a book on Roman St Albans from its great Roman section! And the staff dressed up to celebrate #WorldBookDay and local school kids had been visiting. Brilliant to see a thriving Indy bookshop

This afternoon we interviewed our tenth indie bookseller since launching in October! 🎉

You can catch up on all #BookshopSpotlight interviews by visiting the Opt Indie website for the full list so far 📚

But who shall we shine a light on next?
