The journey of Border Bookshop continues to be one of adaptation, persistence, and hope. As mentioned in our last post, transitioning our vast collection of books, comics, and magazines online has been an enormous undertaking. Despite years of effort, we’re still not halfway through cataloguing our inventory. With thousands of single-issue comics and vintage magazines waiting to be discovered, much of our stock remains accessible only through direct inquiries.
As if this ongoing challenge wasn’t enough, a curveball from the council has left us in limbo regarding the future of our current premises. While we won’t go into specifics, navigating these uncertainties has been another layer of complexity in an already demanding situation.
That said, there’s been a bright spot in 2025 so far. We’re thrilled to share that we’ve raised £58.10 for our fledgling charity, aimed at supporting neurodivergent individuals. Half of our profits from every book sale for the next few months are being donated toward this cause. It’s a modest start, but it represents something much bigger: hope for a brighter future and the potential to create meaningful change.
To everyone who has purchased a book or supported us in any way, thank you. Your kindness helps keep Border Books alive and allows us to contribute to a cause close to our hearts.
Here’s to continued progress and positivity, even in the face of challenges!
