OK, Tom. I see your problem. But I believe books are a spontaneous purchase - people mostly buy them when they are standing in front of them.
So borrow one of those bicycle ice-cream carts. Load it with your most enticing offerings (and bargains) and cycle into the park and shout your wares!
Go further. Buy a 50 quid garden pagoda from B&Q and set it up in the park with a table of books and a deckchair. And some of that cheeky rose - a glass with every book bought!
"First, some truly bleak summer weather is surely just around the corner: it wasn’t for nothing that I chose to open my bookshop in the world capital of grey."
Ha! Must agree-- you can't beat a bookstore on a rainy day! Ah, well-- those clouds are sure to roll in soon. 🙏
Your good-humored posts create a great vibe for your shop-- well done! 👍
