Thanks a lot for sharing. I've been watching a couple videos about modern age bookstores. I am from a country where reading is not common, yet I will find my way to open my bookstore.
Delighted to discover you and follow your journey. You’re living many people’s dream (mine for one). A beautiful shop in a beautiful area. I look forward to more vlogs. ❤
Love these vlogs inside the bookshop and about the books, gives me a real sense of nostalgia. With this manic world where everyone’s life revolves around screens it’s so nice to read a physical book and keep this alive and not live our lives around social media and screens all the time. Such a cosy vlog 📚 What attracts me to books at first is the cover and title then I read the synopsis 🙌📚
I’m so glad I found you on Instagram! My daughter opened a business two years ago and I know how hard it is to keep it going. I’m praying your shop becomes a huge success and beats the odds against the giant corporations ruling the book world. If I ever get to England again from California, I will make your shop a must-see stop! I love your passion and your presence in front of a camera! ❤
No storage. We order in new titles when the old ones sell (or decide to stop stocking). I did a lot of research before picking the titles and we continue to evolve and shift what we order. Publishers catalogues, bookselling conferences, web research, prior knowledge…all these methods
Enjoyed you video a lot It was very informative I really want to open a small bookshop of my own but I’m unsure where to start first What are your suggestions for me

Ah thank you - really nice to know people enjoy them (and then can read a good book)
Wonderful to hear your insights and good luck with the shop! It looks beautiful - thank you for sharing your journey.
🙏🙂
Very interesting video, and some fantastic books on the shelves behind you!
Thank you! Glad you think so
Love this and your honesty on starting a business and the journey you are on. Cannot wait to get down and see the job very soon. ❤

True Allestree Boy. Good on you, mate.
Found your thoughts very interesting. Good luck going forward
Cheers - still early days, hopefully we can find our feet
I love these bookstore observations as a bookseller myself ! 😊
Love watching your progress. This is my sort of shop. Hope to get down to Frome soon.
Excellent!
Excited to follow your journey! I’ve always wanted to open a bookstore. Do you have enough space to run events at your store?
Afraid not but we’ve got plans on that front! Stay tuned
You should do an updated version of this now you’ve been rolling for a while.
How did you select book titles for your store? Do you have storage?
No storage. We order in new titles when the old ones sell (or decide to stop stocking). I did a lot of research before picking the titles and we continue to evolve and shift what we order. Publishers catalogues, bookselling conferences, web research, prior knowledge…all these methods
I love your recommendations. Chasing Steeples was terrific. I think of your work as community service!
Good stuff Luke. We value your expertise and curation.
Very cool, best of luck!
Really enjoyed this video! Fascinating insight into bookselling. Delighted to hear that folk writing is so popular- its my favourite genre too!
Enjoyed you video a lot
It was very informative
I really want to open a small bookshop of my own but I’m unsure where to start first
What are your suggestions for me
