Exclusive Books shortlisted for international Bookstore of the Year award
Exclusive Books’ flagship store in Hyde Park Corner, Johannesburg, has been shortlisted for the London Book Fair’s (LBF) International Excellence Award, in the category of The Bookstore of the Year. Exclusive Books CEO Benjamin Trisk said on Friday, "[The award] is just fantastic for us. All British publishers come to SA and are blown away by what we have done so far." The largest bookselling chain in SA has gone through impressive refurbishments since the change of ownership in 2014 from Times Media Group to a consortium led by Global Capital. The Hyde Park store underwent an enormous revamp, which included a restaurant and lounge area in September 2015. It re-opened in November of the same year.
