Tanya Carter inside her bookshop, Limestone Books
Tanya - who moved to Settle with her partner from Cambridge eight years ago - has built relationships with local authors and carefully analysed the literary tastes of both her core customers and summer visitors.
And rather than imperil her fledgling business, lockdowns and uncertainty have instead helped localised bookselling to thrive.
Tanya was inspired to launch the venture when she visited a similar shop on holiday in Northumberland - and admits the decision to open her own was made on a whim rather than the result of a long-nurtured ambition. Having worked in lingerie and homeware shops and an art gallery in Settle, she was keenly aware of how much a shop that provided a personal service to its patrons could succeed.
