Uganda Bookshop has sold books in Kampala since 1927. In all that time the best part of the work has been the same: someone walks in, describes a book half-remembered from school, and leaves with it under their arm.
This blog is for the part of that conversation that does not fit in the shop.
What you will find here
- New arrivals worth knowing about, especially Ugandan writers and local publishers.
- School reading, term by term, with the lists we are asked for most.
- Notes from the shelves: what our booksellers are reading and why.
- How the shop works: ordering, delivery, and getting a book we do not stock.
Tell us what to write
If there is something you would like us to cover, or a book you cannot find, ask us to find it or send us a message. We read every one.
A bookshop is a conversation that happens to have shelves.
More soon.
