I attended the first ever Annual General Meeting of the local publishing cooperative Oceanbooks over the weekend.
There was a massive turn out with shareholders and interested locals keen to learn more about Oceanbooks' progress.
It's amazing what a small group of determined individuals can achieve when they put their minds to it. Oceanbooks is going from strength to strength and continues to attract interest. Read The Phantom Paragrapher (Paula Phillips') blog.
