Saving Clevedon's Secondhand Bookstore

A heartwarming story from the money pages of The Guardian 10/12/11

Clevedon Books, a secondhand bookstore in the seaside town of Clevedon, North Somerset, was to close after 14 years of trading until local people stepped in to save it. The shop has now been set up as a not-for-profit co-operative and is currently issuing a minimum of 10 shares at £1 each. 200 people have signed up already. There are plans to expand the shop, arrange author visits, offer book repair workshops...

The share offer closes 31 December 2011. To become a member visit:
