An independent (and radical) bookshop. In an alley off the north of Long Row. From their website: "Our independence means that we do our own buying and are not beholding to shareholders. The shop has to make a profit so that we can pay staff wages, rent, overheads and pay for the books, but beyond that our income will be used to develop the shop and our publishing side. We are radical in that the shop supports those who want to change the world for the better. This is reflected in the books we stock and the events we promote. It would be impossible to pay the rent if we ONLY stocked politically radical books… but radical is a broad word. Personal change, political change, understanding history, understanding the world we live in… anarchist, socialist, green… we are not prescriptive. Independent publishing, independent thinking, independent writing. That’s good enough for us."
