How It All Started
Pbso Booking Blotter was born from a simple observation: in an age of algorithmic recommendations, readers were missing the serendipity of discovering books through passionate human curation.
In 2019, two former librarians—Leo Poirier and Olivia Hartwell—decided to create something different. Not just another online bookshop, but a literary destination where every recommendation comes with a story, and every reader finds their next favourite book through genuine connection.
From our base in leafy Chislehurst, we've grown into a community of bibliophiles who believe that the right book at the right moment can change everything.
