Indie bookstores struggling to survive..

Here’s a little story from London.. A couple of guys using blogs and social media to support their three-year old independent bookstore..

A few more books sold on their 3rd anniversary – and they’re good..

From the blog:

We absolutely love it here at the Big Green Bookshop. These have been the most rewarding 3 years of our working lives and we really don’t want it to end.

(..) It’s just that we can’t really afford to have another nine months like the nine we just had, and despite all your amazing support we are struggling.

(..) It’s the 3rd Anniversary of the Bookshop on March 8th. During the week 6th to 12th March we’re asking you all to buy just one extra book from the Big Green Bookshop. We have over 1,000 people on our loyalty card scheme & many of you who are reading this who aren’t. If each of you bought one extra book this would pretty much guarantee our survival.

Let’s hope they’ll make it..
