Harrogate bookshop suffers ‘worst day ever’

The owners of a Harrogate bookshop have made an impassioned plea asking customers to support a small business after the shop took just £12.34 on its “worst day ever.”

Imagined Things, an independent bookshop on Parliament Street, took to Twitter yesterday, stating: “We only took £12.34 today…if anyone was thinking about buying a book now would be a great time! Things have been tough recently – today the worst day ever.

“A card, a book, anything makes a huge difference to a small business like ours. We’d be very grateful for your support.”

The store, which also has an ordering service and hosts author events, received a huge response to the plea – with the tweet shared hundreds of times across Yorkshire and beyond. The business said that they wished they had their online shop up and running and that they were looking to sort a Paypal link.
