“The closure of The Kilburn Bookshop is indeed the
saddest of news. It is true that I used to take
daughter Zadie and sons Ben and Luke there on
an almost weekly basis. All three have a massive
love of books and I sure that The Kilburn Book Shop
was a massive inspiration. The shops owner
positively encouraged small children to sit on the
floor and leaf through the books rather like they
were in a library.”
