Harry's first book appeared shortly after the shop first opened and he has brought out a new one each year with extraordinary speed and regularity. Each launch has been the same - a bustling mix of friends, writers and publishers in the same Woodstock bar run by a friend of Harry's. Elements of Groundhog day but infinitely more enjoyable...
I am slightly uneasy about the need for an Independent Booksellers' Week - are we on the verge of extinction? I receive daily emails from various publishing and bookselling networks which range from gloomy to despairing but am happy to report that we are still flourishing.
