‘Unbelievable’ response to Newham Bookshop
appeal for Grenfell Tower victims

The Bookseller reports on Newham Bookshop’s Twitter appeal for Grenfell Tower victims

The publishing industry has rallied round to support Newham Bookshop’s charity drive for victims of the Grenfell Tower in London.

Owner of the east London store, Vivian Archer, said she was “absolutely overwhelmed” by the clamouring of support from publishers and authors to help victims of the fire in the 24-storey block in north Kensington on Wednesday [14 June] after she issued a fundraising appeal on Twitter. The major incident has led to the deaths of 17 people, with 17 more in critical care and many others missing.

She tweeted to her 7,700 followers at 7.30 am this morning [Thursday 15 June]: “At our event tonight @thewansteadtap we will raffle some great items to raise cash for the Grenfell Tower residents. Any publisher/author who would like to donate a signed book we will raffle tonight at our Mark Thomas event for Grenfell Tower residents.”
