A tale of two book lovers: Second-hand bookshops open next door to each other
Happy Monday neighbours,
Second-hand bookstores are like buses: You wait years for one, and then two come along at once.
A pair of second-hand bookstores have opened next door to each other in Woolston in a bid to transform Ferry Rd into a “book destination”.
At first sight it may appear like a sitcom about two rival booksellers, but the owners of Steadfast Books and Book Barn decided opening next door to each other would help bring in more customers.
What do you think about this as a business decision? Savvy?
