Based on the popular Substack that Julia Quinn calls “delightful” and India Knight describes as ‘absolute heaven,” a quirky and gossipy insider gets a glimpse at a year in the life of a family-owned bookshop in a seaside English town as told by the store’s owner.

One summer not long ago, bookseller Katie Clapham began chronicling life at the small independent bookstore she runs with her mother in the English seaside town of Lytham St. Annes. Her charming bookshop diaries give people an inside scoop the romance and frustration of running your own bookstore- from the loyal customers to the feisty passers-by, and the deliveries filled with tempting new stock to the never-ending aftermath of cardboard boxes. Kaite faithfully records the change of seasons from sad January to exhausting December, punctuated with visits from inquisitive dogs, adorable children, and people just looking for a good place to get an omelette around here.
