New chapter of hope: indie bookshops defy the odds to hit nine-year UK high
Independent sellers have battled lockdowns, supply-chains issues and Amazon to reclaim their place in the industry. We speak to the people who opened their ownI had a beautiful Christmas present from your lovely shop. The Paddington pop up book, a beautiful book.😀
Happy New Year 📗📘📙📚📓📒📕📔📖 Xxxx
Happy new year 🎉🍾 love from us in Suffolk plotting our next visit!
bollards -how silly. Don't they create chao with motability scooters and prams? Let alone access... And trip hazards.
This a really great book shop, and the staff are super helpful and friendly.
Thanks for bringing such a wonderful asset to our town,Octavia.Have a good and relaxing Christmas ....Hopefully 2022 will be easier for small businesses!
Octavia's Bookshop is the only bookshop in Gloucestershire to raise over £190 this Christmas to help the Gloucestershire Arthritis Trust support children, as young as three, suffering with Arthritis. Magic indeed.
While I think you’re being really sensible, and very much appreciate your efforts to help keep us all safe, I can’t let you get away with describing Octavia‘s Bookshop as “nonessential”. That’s just ridiculous. 📕📗📘📙📖📚
I think that's a wise move, Octavia, and wish you and your staff a very Merry Christmas 🙂.
I think we might all be on the same hymn sheet, you have to just take a gutt decision & I think we will be almost certainly be around about the same. 🐊 take care & happy Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas and a happy new year Love your very special bookshop Take care stay safe🎅🤶🎉🎈🌲🎄❄️🎊⛄🎁💝🎉🤶🎅💖🍫💞💗📚📙📘📗📒📔📕
Hopefully we can get in to see you on Tuesday I've been so looking forward to bringing my daughter (11 weeks) in to get her something special. 😭😍
Totally understandable. I will ring on Monday to pay for my ordered books and will arrange for them to be collected before Wednesday as I am stuck inside until the Friday.
Well done Octavia, may you have a Happy Christmas x
Happy Christmas stay safe x
Have a lovely Christmas too!
Good luck.
I consider bookstores essential. But thank you for being considerate and thinking of people’s safety. Do you sell online? I’m in Australia ☺️
Great photos
Looking so festive 🤩
😍😍😍
I do love amazon, my son works there but I would also love to shop on high street in Cirencester where I went with my mum and my auntie Jean when mum took me to her beautiful country EnglAnd. Love little book shops and cozy cafes and Christmas lights and magic!
How true. You wouldn’t find a magical window like this with ski-ing moomins on Amazon. This said, local book stores please stock local authors as our publishers often use Amazon even if we don’t want them to!
Moooooomins😍😍😍
❤️❤️❤️
Well said!!
