You may have noticed the birthday cake in our window…
That’s right - Nomad Books is turning 35, and we think that’s worth celebrating!
It has been an absolute joy to be your local bookshop for three and a half decades. From the tiniest readers discovering their first picture book, to lifelong bookworms hunting for a hidden gem, you’ve all helped make Nomad what it is: a place for readers to feel at home.
To mark the occasion, we’ve created a special anniversary window display. Every title has been personally chosen by Harriet, our founder and owner, featuring books she has read and loved since she opened Nomad in 1990.
And because birthdays are for sharing, we have a little treat for you:
If you pop in and purchase a book from us on Saturday 18th October, you’ll be entered into a draw to win five books from our anniversary window!
We’ve also had the pleasure of digging through the archives! Swipe through to see some gems, including: old photos of Nomad Books (including beloved past staff members!); Christopher Corr’s first drafts of our iconic logo; a feature in a 1993 edition of the Bookseller - AND a very retro paper newsletter from 2001! From Harriet’s memory-box to your inbox.
So come by and say hello. Here’s to the next chapter! 35 more years of reading, recommending, and being your local bookshop.
Happy birthday to us - and thank you, always, to you.
With love,
The Nomad Books Team - Harriet, Aude, Justina, Mia and Kathlyn.
