News from Nowhere. are Liverpool's not-for-profit radical & community bookshop - established in 1974, and run collectively by a women workers' co-operative (which means no boss & no owner!) They have just posted this message

Dear friends,
We wanted to let you all know that we've sadly made the decision to close the shop for the foreseeable future.

As one of our fellow indie booksellers recently wisely noted, Social Distancing = Solidarity.
As of today (Tuesday 23rd March), and then we will be closing our doors to customers.

We will of course be opening again once the coronavirus situation has passed! So don't worry, we will return. And we will keep you all updated here, and on our Twitter.

If you have ordered a book from us, and were planning to collect it from the shop, you can come in tomorrow to get it - but if you're not able to come in, then don't worry, as we will be contacting customers during the week, and will arrange a way to get your books to you!
On an important positive note - our staff will still be working in the shop, and we will continue to take book orders by phone and email, and via our website - and we will mail order books anywhere in the world! So do keep sending us your orders - we're here for all your literary self-isolation needs!

All the details about ordering are below - and if you have any queries, please drop us an email: ([email protected]) or give us a ring (0151 708 7270).

Please don't leave us any queries on our Facebook posts, as we often don't manage to catch them.

Thanks so much, everyone!

Much love & Stay safe

A great shop. Went there a lot as a student in the 70s

If you are buying books, Css etc, now and in the future please buy from then, it would be a huge loss if they closed. This is an interview with Mandy Vere who has been there since the shop opened lipsticksocialist.wordpress.com/2012/09/13/political-women-2-mandy-vere/

Legend of a shop. Please support. They do own the building - so that is one positive - no rent or lease costs etc.....

They can order any book in print, and will most often get it quicker than Waterstones etc

SerfNTerf · 23/03/2020 13:02

Fantastic shop, and one that's been targeted by TRAs for stocking literature they don't like Angry

millymae · 23/03/2020 13:16

Not just adult books either - lots of excellent children’s books that you often don’t see on the shelves elsewhere.

OhHolyJesus · 23/03/2020 14:01

Thanks OP, I've ordered from them before and will do so again soon. Hope they can keep going.

Justhadathought · 23/03/2020 14:16

Hope they can keep going

They should be fine....they've had an excellent couple of years.......own the building....and so on.....

I love this place, I've been going in since it opened and it's been a big part of my life over many years.Star

I would like News from Nowhere more if they didn't keep their gender critical material under the counter.

That said, it's a Liverpool icon and I will still support it.
