Someone told me the blog was in Timeout this week and here it is:
Superior Waterloo bookshop Crockatt & Powell maintains a regular blog in which it casts a frequently cafeinated eye over all manner of book-related business. As well as promoting its numerous in-store happenings and deals (buy the new Harry Potter from C & P at £17.99 and it will give £9 to the primary school at the end of Lower Marsh to spend on books for its library) , it ruminates on the latest industry news (controversial ex-Waterstone's buyer Scott Pack is a regular contributor), picks out forthcoming releases for praise, cogitates on themes in contemporary literature, records conversations had with people in the shop, and thinks aloud about US punks Black Flag. It's a real mix: defiantly local, proudly independent and well worth a look.
YAY! Thanks Peter Watts at Timeout for bringing this bollo*s to a whole new bunch of readers!

Hello syferium.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments. We're not into adverts really or making money for doing nothing.
We love running the shop because we love books (I could earn a lot more if I wanted to but I cannot stand bosses!) and we write the blog for fun...
Maybe we're naive.
