"An utterly delightful peek into the real life of an English village bookshop, as told to us by the owner herself. A must-read for everyone who's ever felt most at home in a bookstore." - Julia Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of Bridgerton

Based on the popular Substack that Julia Quinn calls "delightful" and India Knight describes as "absolute heaven," a quirky and gossipy insider glimpse at a year in the life of a family-owned bookstore in a seaside English town--as told by the store's owner.

One summer not long ago, bookseller Katie Clapham began chronicling life at the small independent bookstore she runs with her mother in the English seaside town of Lytham St Annes. Her cozy bookshop diaries detail the romance and frustration of running your own bookstore - from the loyal customers to the feisty passers-by, and the deliveries filled with tempting new stock to the never-ending aftermath of cardboard boxes. Katie faithfully records the change of seasons from sad January to exhausting December, punctuated with visits from inquisitive dogs, adorable children, and people just looking for a good place to get an omelette around here.

Tender, funny, and thoughtful, Receipts from the Bookshop is a love letter to everything we hold dear: small towns, family, book chat, hot cups of tea, and just the right snack at 11 AM....
