Malice in the Bookshop

“Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.” 

― Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own

The Inking Woman in the Bookshop

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

"You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me." - C.S. Lewis

 "There are books that are suitable for a million people, others for only a hundred. There are even remedies—I mean books—that were written for one person only… A book is both medic and medicine at once. It makes a diagnosis as well as offering therapy. Putting the right novels to the appropriate ailments: that’s how I sell books." - Nina George, The Little Paris Bookshop
