BIBLIOGRAPHY

About this title

Synopsis

As Professor Sher writes in this third volume in the series Print Networks, 'stories about books are also stories about authors, readers, and members of the book trade, seen as flesh-and-blood individuals with their own interests, aspirations, motives, strengths, and weaknesses'. The Human Face of the Book Trade explores this topic, showing how human idiosyncrasies intervene at every stage of the intellectual journey from author to reader, and how the strengths and frailties of the creators of print culture may produce smaller or larger changes of direction.

Store Description

We have been selling books with some success for over twenty years. In 1995, we opened a bookshop in the Peak District village of Castleton and traded successfully there until 2010. In addition to selling through the shop we developed an Internet business and built a reputation for a good and reliable service. The stock, which covers a wide range of subjects, but particularly ornithology and natural history, has constantly been improved, so we now over 9000 volumes of quality books. In March of 2019 we established a shop in the attractive market town of Bakewell in the Peak District National Park. The shop is open five days a week from 10.00 to 17.00 (closed Wednesday and Sunday). Customers are very welcome to visit the shop (tel: 01629 815547) or email books@hawkridge.co.uk
