There’s a very lovely piece in the Barnes Bugle about the wonderful world of Barnes Bookshop. This is a truly great, independent bookshop with the lovely Venetia Vyvyan and her team who are all so knowledgeable about books of all different genres. It’s one of those amazing little kingdoms where you can quite happily spend the best part of the afternoon browsing the books and chatting about all things from books to local intrigues. This is a fantastic article that shows how precious our independent bookshops are and also, if you read down far enough, mentions local authors, even the ‘new young talent.’ Thank you lovely Venetia and Sarah Arthur at the Barnes Bugle.
