Long live the independent bookshop!

Friday, March 26th, 2010

These days we are sadly more accustomed to hearing the news of yet another independent bookshop closing, so it’s always heartening to hear news of ones that are thriving, relaunching or opening!

This month saw the launch of the Slightly Foxed bookshop on Gloucester Road (formerly known as The Gloucester Road Bookshop).

Like the quarterly review magazine by the same name, Slighty Foxed bookshop offers their customers more ecclectic reads - both new and classic books - personally selected from small publishers because the books have amused, delighted or inspired them.

I look forward to venturing there to explore the place and for a bit of a browse…
