After several years selling exclusively online, Green Ink opened its doors to the public in the book town of Hay-on-Wye in October 2018.

Owners Joshua and Ellen Boyd Green returned to the Welsh-English border town after several years in Melbourne, Australia where they were custodians of Alice’s Bookshop from 2012 - 2015.

We both believe the magic of running a bookshop is being able to talk to customers face to face and share in the moments people discover a treasure that is new to them. The love for books and the stories that they contain both on the page and as objects that have had journeys of their own is why we became second-hand booksellers.
