'We're bringing the books back'

A bookshop owner has told how she has battled online rivals and successive lockdowns to keep her business going.

Olivia Rosenthall, 28, who runs Maldon Books, said she had seen a resurgence in demand since starting the business two years ago, just before the first Covid lockdown.

"We're bringing the books back," she said. "I can only think that really they are just something that people do love."
