We are always pleased to learn of the opening of a new LGBTQ and progressive bookshop, and despite the continued presence of lockdown restrictions, we are pleased to note that booklovers continue to shop mail order from independent book retailers. Pages Cheshire Street is a new sister shop to Clapton’s award-winning bookshop, Pages of Hackney. The new shop is a member of the Alliance of Radical Booksellers and will stock an eclectic selection of books by women, trans and gender diverse writers in subjects including literary fiction, politics, feminism, essays, life writing, science & technology, philosophy, psychology, landscape & environment, art, photography, music and children’s books. The shop's team say: “Our priority is to be a friendly, welcoming bookshop that showcases women, trans and gender diverse authors across many genres. We are customer focused and encourage readers of all genders to explore, discover and buy these books. We also run an exciting programme of literary events that prioritises diverse programming aimed at engaging readers, writers and publishers still under-represented in traditional line-ups, such as women and those from BAME backgrounds. “ Do an internet search for the news shop, Pages of Cheshire Street, to learn more.
