The Petersfield Bookshop

Those of you who are in the UK may have seen an item on this bookshop on the BBC Six O'clock News last night.  On Monday or Tuesday an employee tweeted that  for the first time in 100 years they had “not sold a single book - £0.00”. An author retweeted it and it went viral.  Orders poured in from all over the world.  A man in California donated £50.  Someone commented that he has lived in Petersfield all his life and had never been to the shop - he said a friend in California (same person?) messaged him that he had to visit the shop the following day.  He did.
Over the years I’ve visited from time to time and can confirm that it is a veritable Aladdin’s cave of books.  If you can, do go. 
 It’s on the One Show on BBC1 right now (7.05pm).
Happy Weekend blipfriends.
