Independent bookshops are magical havens offering something unique to the discerning bibliophile. But with e-books on the rise and giants like Amazon putting many book chains out of business how are they surfing this tide of change? What do they see coming their way?
With the help of Peggy Hughes of the Dundee Literary Festival, we’ll be grilling four Edinburgh Indie Bookshop managers and owners to see what they think of it all. Marie Moser from The Edinburgh Bookshop, Looking Glass Books‘ Gillian Robertson, Golden Hare Books‘ Ian MacBeth and Elaine Henry from Word Power Books will share their experiences of maintaining the indie bookshops in Edinburgh that we hold so dear.
After the event, we’ll all be heading across the road to Bar Kohl for some drinks and chat and everyone is very welcome to join!
Refreshments will be provided. Free for SYP members, £3 for non-members.
