Roundtable Discussion with Edinburgh Bookshops
A special roundtable discussion with local booksellers on the history, present, and future of the bookshop in Edinburgh held on Friday 16th October, 1-2pm, in the Project Room (1.06) at 50 George Square.
How have bookshops responded to the advent of the e-book and the online marketplace? What kinds of creative, educational, and community partnerships do Edinburgh bookshops support? What will the bookshop of the future look like?
