Dear fellow book(store) lovers,

Bookstore Guide will celebrate its 10th anniversary this year and we've realized it needs some fresh energy.

As you have noticed, we haven't had much time to update the site in the past few years, both in terms of content and design. We're not ready to shut it down, but we need your help to make it serve its purpose - helping booklovers on the road find great books and helping independent bookstores survive.

If you'd like to get involved in any way, please drop us a line at [email protected] with your idea or possible contribution. It doesn't matter if you have ideas for new content, possible cooperation, would be interested in updating the current list of bookstores, adding content to the FB page, or would be able and willing to update the design and usability of the blog. Any idea or proposal is more than welcome. We are looking for someone with passion and energy who could give the Guide a new boost. Everything else is open and we are very curious to see what will come out of it...

Thanks in advance for sharing this message with anyone you think might be interested.

Cheers,

Ivan & Sonja

hopefully, we'll also wake up from this hibernation of ours and add a bookstore or two ;)

It's time for this Rioter's yearly reading hibernation - but first, a selection of bookish blankets perfect for snuggling up in until warm weather returns.
