What its pages say

Quoted word for word from blackwells.co.uk.

In their own words: “The first bookshop opened by a member of the Blackwell family was in Oxford but was actually in 1846. We take the year of 1879 as our founding since it was on January 1 st of that year that our bookshop on Broad Street, Oxford first opened its doors and we have been trading continuously from there ever since. 1879 was the year that Thomas Edison created the first lightbulb, Broad Street was cobbled and, no doubt, filled with the sound of hooves clipping along it.” About page
