In these difficult times for indie booksellers, and bookstores in general, it’s rare to hear unqualified good news stories about bookshops persevering and thriving. But I’m pleased to report that the word on the water floating book barge in London has gotten a reprieve. The Canal & River Trust has offered owners Paddy Screech and Jonathan Privett a permanent mooring at Granary Square in Kings Cross. So, when you’re in London, pop by and buy a book or two.
