This is really helpful, thank you. I’m in the process of setting up my own independent bookshop in the UK and this has been a great insight into your experience. Thank you x

Best of luck!

[@cassiegerrard813]

[@CJReads]

Literally no… lmao!!! I only had one day off a week for the last year and almost died. It’s hard!

[@ameliareads589]

Could we get another bookstore tour, please?

[@CJReads]

Sure!

Do you have an idea how many people visit your store on an average day?

[@CJReads]
