Fancy running your own bookshop? Want a unique holiday? The Open Book is a bookshop in Wigtown, Scotland’s official National Book Town, which allows you to have both at once by running a used bookshop for a fortnight.
The shop is the inspiration of Jessica Fox, an American who in 2013 while working as a storyteller for NASA decided she would love to ‘work in a Scottish bookshop by the sea’. Now, via the website AirBnB, Jessica rents out the Open Book for £36 per night, on the agreement that during that time you serve as a manager for the shop.
