I couldn't choose just one #indiebookstore but I did narrow it down to four. Top left: Scarthin of Cromford, Derbyshire. An amazing place with a mixture of new, secondhand and antiquinarian books. Top right: Bookwise, a secondhand bookshop that raises money for charity. Bottom left: Oxfam charity bookshop with secondhand books. Bottom right: the bookshop at the Nottingham Contemporary for fabulous unusual books
