Any indie bookshops open

[BBBear]

I’m going to order a ton of books to see us all through isolation. My local bookshop is closed for all orders so I had intended to use Amazon, unless anyone can recommend an I die bookshop currently open to online orders?

There is a lovely, albeit small, bookshop in London called word on the water (it is on a barge near King's Cross) I know they have a website although I suspect choice might be limited due to their size. wordonthewater.squarespace.com/

[CatChant]

This is one of my favourites.

Don't! Just seen that the link doesn't seem to work. You can find them on Facebook though.

P&G Wells in Winchester. Free doorstep delivery for orders over £30. Otherwise, it’s mail order. www.bookwells.co.uk/ Hope link works - am on my phone!

[BothALarkAndAnOwl]

I should have said free doorstep delivery for local orders for P&G Wells!

Try hive books - they will let you know which independents near you are open/delivering/available for collection

[ClaraLane]

I think Hive are having some issues at the moment so they’re suggesting people buy through Simon from Big Green Books. I’ve bought plenty from him before he he’s fab.

[Palavah]

Oh! I didn't know that - shame.

Our local bookshop is delivering but only locally.

Where are you approximately OP?

[BBBear]

Thanks everyone.

I’m in East Berkshire @highlandcoo

This account retweets lots of indie bookshops and is worth a follow

Have a look at their feed for an idea of who is still open and who has closed

[highlandcoo]

Ah no good unfortunately B.B. I’m in the northwest.

Good link Keith

They also do 'buy a stranger a book' every week which is lovely.
