The Big Green Bookshop


There is a bookshop open in Wood Green, London called The Big Green Bookshop. I have not visited it, although I plan to on my next visit to the capital, but they have an excellent website that includes recommendations each month from some of the prominent book bloggers. They have also set up a shelf in the shop to show the book bloggers recommendations and enable you to buy a copy should you want to, after reading the reviews posted by the blogs author. You will recognise some of our fellow bloggers, if not all of them if you visit the book blogs regularly.
I think this is a brilliant idea and I recommend a visit to the site or the shop. They have recognised that this idea will probably catch on with other shops and it is great seeing bloggers getting a new kind of voice and influence. There are some great books recommended too, and you can order them online if you wish. Why not use the links above and take a look for yourself.
