Studio Brief 3 - Feedback From Independent Book Shops

As I see my publication being sold in independent book shops and creative scenes around Leeds, I thought It'll be beneficial to ask for some feedback and direction into what they looked for when it comes to publications and books.

I sent an email to Village Book shop and Colour May Vary to ask what they look, especially Village Book shop where anyone can get their book sold in their store.

The email I sent was:

"Hello!

I'm a student at Leeds College of Art and we are currently doing a brief to create a publication. I'm gathering research at this moment, which hopefully you can help with?

Would it be possible for you to describe in a short paragraph or a couple of sentences about what you look for in the publications or zines that people send in? 

In terms of the style or production method?

Thank you!"

Unfortunately Colours May Vary and Village book shop both didn't reply back to my email. Which is extremely sad to see as a young creative. But anyway I shall venture into the store the next time I'm close by.
