Mandy Vere from the Liverpool radical bookshop
News From Nowhere recently published a letter in the
Guardian to protest at the pricing policies adopted by Waterstone's. News From Nowhere is a small haven in Bold Street where they sell real books and act as a focal point for many community groups. Waterstone's 3 for 2 aggressive pricing may seem to give the customer cheap books, but the policy actually reduces the choices available to book lovers.
Its been a struggle for this shop to keep going, but where many other independent shops have buckled under the strains this women's co-operative has stayed around.
Visit their website
News From Nowhere, or better still visit the shop in Bold Street, and buy your books from the
Real Amazons!
