TWO of North Yorkshire's most popular bookshops are starting a new chapter.
Castle Hill Books, in Richmond, and The Northallerton Bookshop in Barkers Arcade, have been acquired by Yorkshire Books Limited.
Nina Cline, who opened Castle Hill Books in 1975, and her husband, Donald, who joined the business full-time when the couple opened the Northallerton shop ten years later, are handing over to another husband-and-wife team, Philip and Anne Wicks, from Huddersfield.
"We are excited to be taking over such a successful enterprise and are looking forward to building on the reputation for friendly, personal service that Nina, Donald and their staff have nurtured for so many years," said Mr Wicks.
