Name That Book Shop!

Posted at 12:23PM Thursday 04 Oct 2007

A new bookshop is appealing to local wordsmiths to come up with a name for their store.

One lucky winner will see their idea up in lights for years to come in the centre of Wood Green, as plans to fill the gap left in the west of the borough by Waterstone's closure continue to steam ahead.

Tim West and Simon Key, former manager and assistant manager at Waterstone's, are going it alone, determined to give the east of the borough its own bookstore before the end of the year.

They are close to securing premises "close to Shopping City, just off the High Road," said Mr West, but coming up with a name is proving a major stumbling block.
