The new start-up has been ignited by the the owner, Andrew Heaton's passion of books, which has been his motivation behind the creation of Bookmasters.

 Speaking of his first day in the central Hereford stall, he said: "Currently, I'm feeling quite optimistic. I had a surprisingly good first day, despite being new, and opening on a Tuesday (a rainy Tuesday at that).

"I'm very proud of the work my partner and I have put into getting the stall ready, and it seems more than a few people are already starting to notice us.

"Still early days to say whether it will be a success or not (however one measures success), but I'm hopeful Hereford will welcome us."

Mr Heaton, originally from Shropshire, was previously a freelance writer specialising in video game journalism, but has taken a back seat from this to concentrate on his new venture.
