Receipts from the Bookshop
A Bookseller's Year in an English Seaside TownBy Katie ClaphamNarrated by Amy DrakeLength5h 56m
About this audiobook
Based on the popular Substack that Julia Quinn calls “delightful” and India Knight describes as “absolute heaven,” a quirky and gossipy insider glimpse at a year in the life of a family-owned bookstore in a seaside English town—as told by the store’s owner.
One summer not long ago, bookseller Katie Clapham began chronicling life at the small independent bookstore she runs with her mother in the English seaside town of Lytham St Annes. Her cozy bookshop diaries detail the romance and frustration of running your own bookstore - from the loyal customers to the feisty passers-by, and the deliveries filled with tempting new stock to the never-ending aftermath of cardboard boxes. Katie faithfully records the change of seasons from sad January to exhausting December, punctuated with visits from inquisitive dogs, adorable children, and people just looking for a good place to get an omelette around here.
Tender, funny, and thoughtful, Receipts from the Bookshop is a love letter to everything we hold dear: small towns, family, book chat, hot cups of tea, and just the right snack at 11 AM....
A valentine for book lovers everywhere.
Cozy armchair travel for anyone who loves England.
Reminds readers why bookstores are our happy place.
The perfect story of a small family business built on love and commitment.
A warm, funny look at community in a small seaside town.
