Shaw, who runs his own internet blog, has to his credit a couple of novels and hundreds of articles, including several articles for this newspaper, book reviews, and similar features. He co-owns with his wife the well known bookshop in Aberdeen, which also publishes its own newsletter.
Before coming to Aberdeen a couple of years ago, he ran a bookshop and a bookbinding workshop in Johannesburg, which did a lot of work for Wits University, large legal practices, as well as students and book collectors. His wife, Sue, is an avid photographer and scrapbooker, and has promised to assist – Shaw himself is partially deaf.
Organizers of local events, and in fact anyone with a newsworthy local story, should contact Peter or Sue at the bookshop or on 083 794 2262.
