Confessions of a Manchester book collector

Dear members — today we’re bringing you an ode to Manchester’s second-hand bookshops. It’s by novelist Nicholas Royle, who is also a book collector and has written a lovely piece for us about a day spent browsing shelves across the city.

This morning we received some exciting news: The Mill has been nominated for the Digital Initiative of the Year category in the 2020 Regional Press Awards. We couldn’t have done it without your support, so thanks as always. We’ll keep you updated — watch this space.
