Further to my previous post it has occurred to me that my imminent retirement (from the high street) will leave the city suddenly short of bookshops. It is a shame perhaps that there have been no younger aspiring booksellers out there to take up the slack. I have been running a 'bricks and mortar' bookshop in York for over 30 years now and it has provided me not only with a pleasant, fulfilling and stimulating environment in which to work but also a pretty decent living as well.

So if there is anyone out there who thinks that running their own bookshop in York would be a nice way to earn a living, then I would urge you to consider it. I started out back in 1990 with very little capital and very little stock but the business soon took off, in large part because of where I was, here in York.

If anyone does want to declare an interest through this page I would be very happy to offer any help, advice and encouragement that I can.

Hello from Fossgate Books.
I regret to announce that I will be retiring (from the high street) and closing the shop at the end of this year (31st December 2022). This is a planned retirement after over 30 years as a bookseller here in York. I will continue to be active selling books in the future, mainly on-line. This will be a new venture for me and so may take some time to get going. Further details will be forthcoming and will be posted here on this page.
In the meantime, I would like to offer my thanks to all my customers, past and present, who have contributed to the success of the shop over the years.
