Before she left for Denver, Helen said she was looking forward to coming back with lots of ideas for events and marketing in the bookshop.
As the book buyer for the shop, she also really interested in getting some tips from people who have been in the industry for a while about how they go about choosing and managing their stock. She is looking forward to hearing about how things work in the United States and is hoping to get a more global perspective on bookselling.
Exciting things are afoot. Helen’s new knowledge should see a wider spectrum of titles hitting Dorothy Butler’s shelves soon - as well as bring more fun and interactive events into the store this year.
