About

Bissett Books launched in June 2024!

I’ve always wanted to run a bookshop and when I had the idea to convert a miniature truck I couldn’t get it out of my mind. I knew I wouldn’t be able to move on until I’d done the thing so… I bought the truck in January 2024. The last few months have been full of admin, ordering things, painting, sanding, and navigating the complicated world of bookselling. Now the truck is on the road! Check out our events page to see if I’ll be near you!

My name is Ariel Bissett and I’m co-host of the podcast Books Unbound and I’m sharing my adventures renovating my 1850s house on my YouTube channel.
