Backstory
Welcome to Backstory, an independent bookshop proudly based in South London.
Founded by ex-Economist journalist Tom Rowley, Backstory is on a mission to bring readers closer to the world’s most interesting writers. We offer a curated selection of the best new fiction and children’s books alongside our particular expertise in non-fiction. Through events, newsletters and conversations with our brilliant team and community of readers, we share the stories behind the stories, the backstory.
You can shop directly with us online or in our bookshop or support us via Bookshop.org - we receive a commission for every book sold.
Thanks so much and we hope to see you soon,
Tom and the Backstory team
