The brief
Six independent bookshops sharing one very long shelf. A self-set brief for commerce that works like browsing rather than searching.
What we found
- 01Independent bookshop sites are search boxes, and nobody knows the title they want.
- 02Stock across multiple shops is the asset and it is never surfaced.
- 03The staff recommendation is the whole reason people shop there and it lives on a handwritten card.

A note on labelling
Self-initiated. Broadsheet is not a real company and nobody commissioned this.
