Linghams Booksellers wins National Prize - 17th May 2013 2:28pm
Hush, hush, whisper who dares!
Although missed by Radio Merseyside, Wirral News and The Globe, Linghams in Heswall has won the title of Independent Bookseller of the Year - best independent bookshop in the country.
There is an interview with the owners on Radio 4's Open Book on Sunday, but all the local media seems too interested in bad news. I think Linghams have done pretty well, what with Amazon and the supermarkets being able to demand such huge discounts from publishers - more power to their elbow!
