A new bookshop has opened in Long Eaton Market Place with the aim of providing great books at low prices. ‘Books at The Well’ is located above ‘The Well Coffee Shop’ (Formerly known as Andersons Coffee Shop) at 30 Market Place, Long Eaton. All the books are brand new and are priced at ‘Any 3 books for £5.00.’ The shop has plenty of fiction books with non fiction lines like biographies, history and recipe books. The bookshop is a humble start-up with plans to add extra shelves and more variety of books over the coming months.
The bookshop has been opened by local man 25-year-old Luke Wilkins, who at the age of 18 became the UK’s youngest Parliamentary Candidate to stand in a UK General Election when he stood as an Independent Candidate in Erewash in the 2010 Election. In a statement Luke said, “The bookshop is an addition to the coffee shop, providing a great environment to sit, enjoy a coffee whilst browsing books. For local readers, this will be a great source to pick up some fantastic reads at low prices.” Luke has ambitions to expand the business model into other towns and to create a mobile coffee/book shop on a double decker bus which will visit a different town each week. According to statistics the UK physical book market appears to be on the rise, as 'Screen fatigue' sees UK e-book sales plunge 17% as readers return to print.
