Day 3 of Small Business Week and the turn of Eclipse Books in The Courtyard.
“Eclipse Books was born from a love of stories and a desire to share those tales with others. Alex and Georgia are the husband-and-wife duo behind the counter (with occasional assistance from shop dog Archie). Despite only having started in February they hope to have already helped people find new stories that will stay with them for a lifetime.
They were drawn to set up Eclipse Books in Bawtry because of the strength of the already existing Independent high street and community spirit supporting it. They would like to thank everyone who has popped in, even if it was just for a browse, and for all the lovely compliments! In the coming months we are adding to our range of genres and products so be sure to follow us on Facebook for updates.
Following on from Independent Business Week it is Independent Bookshop Week between the 13th to 20th. To say thank for the warm welcome to Bawtry, Eclipse Books is giving away a £5 National Book Token to the first 100 customers that week. Additionally, they will be holding a raffle for a prize of classic books or Eclipse Book Vouchers! So pop in and start a new story today!
Little known fact; Alex and Georgia first met at university in Preston all the way back in 2013. Alex was doing a Forensic Science degree but prefers Sci-Fi/Fantasy to Crime. Georgia was doing an English Language degree but prefers Crime to Sci-Fi/Fantasy. So, if you want a recommendation you now know who to ask!
