Books Are My Bag!

Books are my bagThis September the Booksellers Association is asking you to show your love of books by declaring ‘Books Are My Bag’!

As an independent bookseller, Stanfords is delighted to join in the celebrations and we will be selling the bags in our Long Acre and Bristol stores in the run up to Christmas.

The campaign has some well known book lovers supporting it including Sebastian Faulks, Bill Nigby, Mariella Frostrup, Joan Collins, Jamie Oliver, Chris O’Dowd and Dawn O’Porter.

We love books here at Stanfords so in celebration of the Books Are My Bag campaign, some of our staff have chosen their favourite books to share with you.
