Bookshop of the week – Word on the Water – bookshop on a barge!
We met the capitano of this pirate bookshop boat moored at the bottom of Broadway Market, Hackney yesterday. He since has set sail up to Hackney Wick where it will stay over the weekend to take part in the Hackney Wicked arts festival. Iphgenia Baal will be reading from her new book The Hardy Tree at some point too, as one of the aims of the boat is to involve local authors wherever it pulls up. Will let you know when and where exactly when we find out, we are off there for the opening night of the festival tonight! In the meantime here are some pics from yesterday’s sunny visit…
