Cyprus Bookshop Adapts to Digital Age
WHY IT MATTERS
The Moufflon Bookshop's ability to thrive in the digital age highlights the importance of unique and specialized bookstores in providing a valuable service to researchers, artists, and readers.
What happened
The Moufflon Bookshop in Cyprus, established in 1967, has adapted to the digital age by focusing on unique and out-of-print titles. Owner Kris Konnaris aims to continue the bookshop's legacy, which was shaped by the late Ruth Keshishian.
Despite the rise of e-books, the bookshop has seen an increase in clientele, particularly among young people under 30. The Moufflon's niche focus on Cyprus-themed books and its extensive collection have made it a reference point for researchers and artists.
The bookshop also has its own publishing arm, which has published 26 books to date.
