The Bookshop Website

An independent bookstore, The Bookshop's primary on-line presence was through Abebooks, a website readers use to find used, rare and out-of-print books. To complement Abebooks, The Bookshop wanted their own site, seeing it as an opportunity to give readers a tactile view of the store, a sense of the people who work there and insight into its history.

Independent bookstores depend on service, knowledge and charisma, in addition to the books they have in inventory, to build client loyalty. This site invited the Bookshop's on-line clients (of which they have thousands) into the store, even if they could only visit via the internet.
