I’m Luke Sherlock, welcome to my channel. This UA-cam channel will feature the Bookshop of Wild Dreams series where we renovate, decorate, and launch an independent bookshop focused on sustainability, the environment and conservation. It’s designed to give an insight into our adventures in Frome, Somerset and what it takes to start a small business. We hope to get creative and inspired, sharing the highs and lows of life at Sherlock & Pages. We will also be featuring stories on the English countryside and my passion for heritage and conservation, particularly historic churches. We hope to give you an honest insight through our content and hope you can enjoy, hit subscribe and help support us as we take the leap and hope to do our little bit to make the world a better place.
Long Live the Hedgerows
Delighted to discover you and follow your journey. You’re living many people’s dream (mine for one). A beautiful shop in a beautiful area. I look forward to more vlogs. ❤
Good stuff Luke. We value your expertise and curation.
Thanks a lot for sharing. I've been watching a couple videos about modern age bookstores. I am from a country where reading is not common, yet I will find my way to open my bookstore.
Best of luck. Bring your passion and authenticity and hopefully the right community will see what you have to offer
I do love folklore from all cultures!
I'm so happy for you both! Wish you luck as you forward with your amazing bookshop!
Thank you. V kind
Wonderful to hear your insights and good luck with the shop! It looks beautiful - thank you for sharing your journey.
🙏🙂
Love these vlogs inside the bookshop and about the books, gives me a real sense of nostalgia. With this manic world where everyone’s life revolves around screens it’s so nice to read a physical book and keep this alive and not live our lives around social media and screens all the time. Such a cosy vlog 📚 What attracts me to books at first is the cover and title then I read the synopsis 🙌📚
Ah thank you - really nice to know people enjoy them (and then can read a good book)
Very interesting video, and some fantastic books on the shelves behind you!
Thank you! Glad you think so
True Allestree Boy. Good on you, mate.
Love this and your honesty on starting a business and the journey you are on. Cannot wait to get down and see the job very soon. ❤
You should do an updated version of this now you’ve been rolling for a while.
I love your recommendations. Chasing Steeples was terrific. I think of your work as community service!
Love watching your progress. This is my sort of shop. Hope to get down to Frome soon.
Excellent!
Found your thoughts very interesting. Good luck going forward
Cheers - still early days, hopefully we can find our feet
Really enjoyed this video! Fascinating insight into bookselling. Delighted to hear that folk writing is so popular- its my favourite genre too!
Excited to follow your journey! I’ve always wanted to open a bookstore. Do you have enough space to run events at your store?
Afraid not but we’ve got plans on that front! Stay tuned
Very cool, best of luck!
How did you select book titles for your store? Do you have storage?
No storage. We order in new titles when the old ones sell (or decide to stop stocking). I did a lot of research before picking the titles and we continue to evolve and shift what we order. Publishers catalogues, bookselling conferences, web research, prior knowledge…all these methods
Enjoyed you video a lot
It was very informative
I really want to open a small bookshop of my own but I’m unsure where to start first
What are your suggestions for me
I love these bookstore observations as a bookseller myself ! 😊
