Sheila will share some of her findings from bookseller conversations covering a period from the early 1990s.

Drawing on reports from England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, Howard Davies presents key findings, national contrasts, and policy recommendations to support and sustain bookshops’ vital local roles.

We welcome proposals that engage with all forms of the bookselling space—physical, virtual, historical, social, communal, commercial, and imagined—and encourage transcultural, transnational, and intersectional perspectives.
