Does anyone in Leeds have recommendations for a company that fits window grilles/shutters? We've been quoted £5000 for our little bookshop! 😮
Update: bookshop is now restored and we are OPEN! Huge, huge thanks to everyone who commented, shared and got in touch offering support, rage and solidarity. We're so touched by everyone's response and feel very valued and loved 💖
Sorry to say we're closed today (Tuesday) 😔 Someone has bricked our window, robbed the cash drawer and, bizarrely, the Bluetooth speaker 🎶 All the books are safe! Turns out robbers dont read. If you wanna help out this struggling queer bookshop our website is still open Merry bloody Christmas 😥
