POP TO THE SHOPS: Local bookshops are disappearing as online companies clean up but a few special places realise that there is a demand for something special – personal service and a passion for books. The Big Green Bookshop may not win in the glamour stakes but a very reliable source tells me it is a fantastic place for keen readers. For instance on Monday 31 August they are hosting an evening to celebrate Jonathan Franzen’s new novel Purity including surprise guests, a Thanksgiving meal and a rare signed first edition copy of the book.
