www.yellow-lightedbookshop.co.uk

The website for a new independent bookshop called 'The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop' opening in Tetbury, Gloucestershire, UK. It's run by an old boss of mine who was one of the most inspirational booksellers I've ever met. Well worth supporting.

John is the author of bestselling children's novel 'The Boy in The Striped Pyjamas', along with some great historical fiction for grown-ups. He's also an old friend of mine so have a look at his site and pick up one of his books.

A new independent bookshop that opened in July 2006 in Abingdon, near Oxford. We share a similar philosophy and they serve as a good reminder why we should support our local bookshops.

Another independent bookshop, this one's in North London (just up the road from where I used to live) and their blog makes me smile.

And one more independent bookshop, this one's down in Kinsale, Co Cork (just round the harbour from where my dad used to live). I popped in there last time I was visiting Cork and it's everything I hope the Gutter might be.

These are old friends, and they're working hard to provide good books from a good website. Worth giving them a go.

www.passionforpublishing.co.uk

A wonderful and professional website for individuals, authors, publishers, charities and corporates who are looking for some publishing help. It's run by a friend of mine and deserves to be a great success.
