| Introduction | MishMash Bookshop was, until recently, London’s smallest and friendliest remainder bookshop. We enjoyed five years of profitable fun selling books to the reading public. But, things being what they are, falling customer numbers in our St James’s Park locality, and the persistent greed of our landlord, made the shop non-viable. After a long struggle we closed in January of this year; and so London loses another quirky independent to the relentless march of philistinism. Over the past year this blog has evolved from being largely on a literary theme, to a more general commentary on modern culture, and thoughts about living as a circumspect and irritated Scottish exile in modern-day London. And that is what we'll continue to do for the time being. So drop in, have a read, leave a comment; and keep one eye cocked for our return to piratical bookselling! Manifesto futurismo! |
