Lily Baron opened Book Space Cardiff because of her love of books and a feeling that Cardiff deserves more book shops. She lived in Shakespeare and Company in Paris when she was 19 and fell in love with the art of bookselling. Then she had a Saturday job at Max Minerva's in Bristol where she learnt a bit more about the business side of things. Outside of the shop she swing dances (Lindy Hop mostly), writes (more recently) and spends a lot of time with friends (the dream). She used to write loads and has been inspired to get back to it by being surrounded by stories all the time. She will happily chat about books with anyone, all day long!
