These are good tips.
In terms of the industry, because it does seem to be hanging on and that is because, and like you say with your customers.
Your amazing customers.
There are people who are so invested in supporting their local bookshop.
Because the books are expensive to you.
They're more expensive to us.
Sainsbury's is getting them really cheap.
Exactly.
Because again, from the publisher's point of view, how incredible to find a new market for books because all they're trying to do is sell more.
But Sainsbury's will be like, you know, it will be such an insultingly small amount so that they can make a profit on it.
She's getting her nappy, she wants a history of Ireland told through maps.
They've all been there.
Her kids are busy looking at the magazine.
Also, the experience is much more pleasurable.
When you go on holiday, like say you go to Paris and then you go to Shakespeare and Co, you go into there for the whole experience of being part of literary history and looking at their range and looking at their recommendations.
So that is what those extra couple of pounds are for.
I've got this quote from your book, which I think underlines what we're saying really well.
And I really love this.
Buying a book from a bookshop really is an act of resistance, a retro act of resilience and determination to maintain or regain some screen free time and a defiant stand against the big corpse that assume people value an extra couple of quid over keeping retail afloat in their own hometowns.
Yes, even if you only picked one up on the way to get your venti mocha, a single paperback is enough to make a difference to us every damn day.
