In 2012, The Independent polled a group of experts on what they deemed the best bookshops in the UK.
A panel consisting of Chris Conway of The Book Partnership; Sara Sheridan, historical novelist; Lisa Campbell, Retail Reporter for The BookSeller; Rebecca Swift, director of The Literary Consultancy; and Olivia Cole, literary editor of GQ magazine narrowed down the 1,028 independent bookshops left in the UK and picked their top 50.
