IF YOU HAVEN’T, YOU NEED TO VISIT THIS BOOKSHOP ON BOLD STREET
If you're ever walking down Bold Street, there's a place you shold check out if you’ve never been before. It’s called 'News From Nowhere', and honestly, it’s one of Liverpool's true treasures. It’s been around since 1974, and is still standing strong. No mean feat in a world of Amazon Prime and instant downloads! e vibe inside is incredible. It's a co-op, so there's no single owner calling the shots, so it’s a collective who run everything together. ink about that......a business with no bosses, where everyone has an equal say. How boss is that? It’s not your typical bookshop, either. e shelves are lled with books that actually make you think. Stu about social justice, feminism and world politics, alongside brilliant kids' books. It's the kind of bookshop where you walk in looking for one thing, and leave with a stack of books that will change your perspective on life........and restock the bedtime story shelf. So, how is it still here? Simple, the people.
Liverpudlians know a good thing when they see it. Choosing to buy a book here is like casting a vote for community, for local businesses, and for keeping places like this alive. Every book you buy helps the sta earn a fair wage and keeps this amazing space going. e team members just want to "spark that light of curiosity" in everyone, and you can de netly feel that. We remember this shop from our own childhood and now our generation are introducing our kids to this treasured Liverpool institution. Hopefully that light of curiosity will continue to be passed on for generations to come. To us it's more than a bookshop; it’s a hub of hope and activism. In a world that feels increasingly intangible, it’s a reminder that physical places full of powerful ideas still matter. Next time you're in town, pay a visit. You’ll be glad you did.
