The new Foyles Birmingham store opened today (30th September) featuring audio-visual ‘author pods’ reading stories to customers.
In a new move for Foyles, the Birmingham’s Grand Central Station bookshop contains three audio-visual ‘author pods’ and a children’s ‘story pod’ where customers can hear and see best-selling writers read their work aloud.
The first authors to feature in the AV pods, designed by Audionation, will be Simon Schama, Neil Oliver and some of the Man Booker Prize shortlisted authors yet to be announced. Children’s author Michael Rosen will also be performing some of his new poems in the children’s ‘story pod’.
