Delighted to learn our small but mighty bookshop, @TheEdinburghBookshop is again on the shortlist for best Indy bookshop in Scotland thebookseller.com/awards/the-b

We won last year, and have won a couple of times before, which was fabulous. And even nicer because we're sharing the list with a lot of great Indy bookselling chums all around the country.

Just discovered that Biblio.com offers the option to exclude booksellers you won't buy from for one particular search or in perpetuity (on the profile level). Just excluded the big junk/boilerplate description culprits and my search results were much more acceptable. There also appears to be a star/favorite option but haven't experimented with that yet. #bookselling #bookstodon
