My Bookshop Backstory by Tom Rowley
About the Substack
On quitting a secure, well-paid job I love to start my own bookshop
About Tom Rowley
I run Backstory, an indie bookshop in south London, and edit Backstory magazine, stocked in fine bookshops around the world. I used to be a journalist at The Economist, but now I'm staying at home to sell you books!
