Some photos of the inside of the shop, as requested yesterday. We’ve put some lovely hardback classic novels on display today.

The shop is open 10am - 1pm today, and there will be some filming going on with Jessica Fox, who came up with the idea of The Open Book. We hope to see you later!

We leave The Open Book with our hearts full!

So many memories made, met so many interesting, friendly customers and literally got to live the dream of running a bookshop.

Thank you to everyone who made it possible.

Clara earning her "I've been caught reading in Wigtown" button: watching the eclipse, at the shindy, in the deli, at the pub, and in the shop.

A bold soul just selected my favorite blurb from our “blind date with a book” promotion. Hope it provides a burst of adrenaline on this rainy Monday!

We couldn’t stay away!

Three years ago, our final post from The Open Book concluded with, “Whether or not we snag another slot at The Open Book, we will be back!”

Luck and timing conspired in our favor we are once again living our bookshop dream. Our first few days here included both an eclipse and a shindy, an unusual combination even in magical Wigtown.

We are having so much fun reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting new ones. We’re here until 4:00 today, have hidden sweeties amongst the books for you to discover, and have a plate of chocolate ginger biscuits conveniently out in the open.

Come in and say hello to Leslie and Clara from Lancaster, Pennsylvania!
