Mr Moon said: "Its Independent Book Shop Week this week, so why not pay your local bookshop a visit.
"You can search for your local secondhand bookshops on the Book Guide and even leave a review."
The week aims to recognise small book shops around the UK and shine a light on the work that they do within our communities.
