Askew Road’s getting a new independent bookshop: Green Ray Books!

The name is from a delightful book by Jules Verne, and an even more delightful film by Eric Rohmer. (And I saw the green ray itself once – but that’s another story.)

All being well, we should open in late October.

We’ll be a general bookshop, selling new books in all genres, for all ages. We’ll also be serving coffee and wine.

Crucially, we want Green Ray Books to be a community bookshop,
with local people – you! – very much involved. For example:

Are you a fan of any particular genre?
Help curate our book selection!

Are you a baker?
Could you bake occasional treats for us?

Do you have ideas for events or activities

we could host in the evenings?

Finally, if you’d like to be on our mailing list for an invite to the launch party and to be kept in the Green Ray Books loop, please email us:
