Here goes. I’ve been given the chance to take on the best people I can find, make a bug list of all the things that ‘bugged me’ about the book industry and then attempt to solve them with a new site.

This started in September and we’re powering towards publishing the site on the 19th March, at least to the trade in a closed beta.

The site is in effect a result of my and the team’s collective experience, which covers pretty much every chain, and some independent, booksellers in the country.

We’re now four weeks off launch.
