Ho comprato il mio libro!

Nicola Morgan posted a really neat idea for World Book Night, and one where everyone is a winner. Today I duly cycled up to The Hyndland Bookshop and bought this book to give away. I like Adriana Trigiani. Her books are warm and funny with an Italian link spun through them and I am hoping that my recipient will enjoy it too.

I also had a nice chat with David Kinnear of The Hyndland Bookshop about publishing in general. Although not a huge shop, the books are obviously ones that appeal given the number of browsers that were in there.

It is amazing to think that the 3rd largest city in Britain (after London and Birmingham) has only one independent bookshop. Even more amazing, it had just what I wanted.
