Bookshop Tours of Britain
by Louise Boland
Description
Based on her touring of bookshops, which she did over the three years since starting Fairlight, Louise Boland’s Bookshop Tours of Britain is a slow-travel guide to Britain, navigating bookshop to bookshop.
Across 18 bookshop tours, the reader journeys from the Jurassic Coast of southwest England, over the mountains of Wales, through England’s industrial heartland, up to the Scottish Highlands and back via Whitby, the Norfolk Broads, central London, the South Downs and Hardy’s Wessex. On their way, the tours visit beaches, castles, head down coal mines, go to whiskey distilleries, bird watching, hiking, canoeing, to stately homes and the houses of some of Britain’s bestloved historic writers – and last but not least, a host of fantastic bookshops.
Also included in the book are:
- a ‘bookshop days’ section listing over one hundred indie bookshops that can be visited as day trips with ‘i-spy’-type tick boxes.
- colour pictures of bookshops and bookshop owners, plus bookshop cats, dogs, bunnies, chickens and even a bookshop tortoise!
