Good local bookshops?

I’m planning to send some book promo materials to small Welsh bookshops. If anyone knows of a local bookshop that wouldn’t mind hearing from an Aussie author let me know the name Andy location. Or alternately, post a link to their web address.

could try here, although it is the place I asked about your book before it was published and they couldn’t find it

Could be worth contacting Palas Print, and reminding them that you’ve been in there to practise your Welsh…:slight_smile:

There’s a great little independent bookshop in my hometown of Monmouth - can’t guarantee anything of course, but might be worth a try. Contact details are on their FB page:

The publisher wouldn’t have had the details up on the Global database yet so there was no way for them to find the book. She should have had them there ages ago but… we work with what we’ve got. :confounded: They will be there now.

Thanks for these suggestions. I’ll try Siop y Peth too. There is one in Machynlleth - Pen yr Allt from memory.
