Episode 62 ’The end of the bookshop’

Welcome to the 'Bakery Bears Radio Show' Episode 62   In todays show we tackle a subject that is close to our hearts, books! Not the digital kind, but the ones you can pick up and touch. A question which has been worrying us is are we living through the end of the bookshop as we know it? On our walk today we talk through our history with books, our love of libraries and of course bookshops.
