New Year, and there have been quite a few changes around town. Again.
The Hay Book Company is now empty, and the building is to let. That's the one by the Buttermarket which used to be Mark Westwood's. A pity, because it had one of the best collections of graphic novels in town (and graphic novels are pretty thin on the ground in Hay).
Bookends at the end of Castle Street is still a temporary antique shop (and occasional pop-up restaurant!).
The bookshop on the Pavement is empty, awaiting it's new incarnation as we don't know what yet.
Chris Arden retired, and his shop has gone back to being a private house (though Natural History books are still being sold online).
And I found out today that Pembertons will be closing soon - the only bookshop that sells new books (rather than remainders) in town. However, Di Blunt will continue to do the books for Hay Festival as before.
It's going to be an interesting year.
