Independent Booksellers Week was a busy one at Atkinson-Pryce this year, with six events in all.  They all went well with good support from adults and children alike. 

Andrew Greig started the week with his latest book "At the Loch of the Green Corrie", standing room only, but what a treat to have him speak to a select audience in the intimacy of the sitting room at the bookshop.  On Wednesday eveing the tralaticious bibliopolist entertained us with his stories and knowledge, also to a full house.  Cathy Cassidy proved popular with youngsters and her cake party at Plaisir next door went with a swing.  The Very Hungry Caterpillar's 40th Birthday Party was very popular with a large turnout of little people who helped make our own Very Hungry Caterpillar to display in the shop.  Many thanks to Katie Brown, our storytime friend for all her hard work.  Pictures in the gallery soon!  Illustrator and author Teresa Flavin was in the shop on Saturday morning and ran a workshop for youngsters.  Finally on Monday 21st Karen Campbell visited Atkinson-Pryce to promote her latest novel "Shadowplay" and talked about her writing to a full house.

Our thanks to all, authors, audiences and helpers, young and older alike, who helped make the week a such a success.
