Not only is The Booklovers Guide to Bookshops an unusual subject for a calendar but the author, Thomas Shepherd is a talented artist and his intricate drawings of each bookshop are worthy of display alone. Each month there is an written insight into a different bookshop, somewhere in the U.K., complete with contact details, grid reference and a little hand drawn map! It’s a book lover’s treat. Intent on visiting all 900 independent bookshops in the country, Thomas’ calendars are something to keep and refer to as each year passes.
