Griffin Books has once again been shortlisted for the prestigious Wales Independent Bookshop of the Year award after winning the category last year.

The shop, located in Windsor Arcade, is up for the award which will be presented at The British Book Awards 2022 on May 23, hosted by The Bookseller.

Elin Davies, events and communications lead at Griffin Books, told Nub News that the nomination will mean even more support for the business, particularly online: "When you're in an independent business, it does feel more meaningful," said Elin. "It helps us to gain a lot of social media followers and it means more people will be able to use our online shop, and when we're hosting our online events.

"It's touching to receive recognition from The Bookseller for everything that we've done, especially during the height of Covid."

The winner will receive a cheque of £5,000 to be spent on their bookshop to be presented at the Gardners Trade Show in September.
