A personal weblog. By Iain Broome, novelist, copywriter and founder of Write for Your Life.
bobulate: Located in the grounds of Hay Castle, Wales is the Honesty Bookshop, a 24-hour open air bookshop where people select books and post the money for them through a small letterbox. Hardbacks at 50p and paperbacks at 30p. The Castle is at Hay-on-Wye, the “town of books,” so much so that according to my guidebook “if you don’t like books, you should certainly avoid Hay-on-Wye.” If you’re of the sort who does, however, be sure to make it out for the Hay Festival of Literature and Arts. (thx, adam) Hay is a wonderful place and I’ve been lucky enough to perform at the festival twice in the last few years. If you ever get the chance to go, you really, really must.
