The Bookshop Blog was founded by Bruce Hollingdrake, former owner of Zeeba Books, once a brick-and-mortar bookshop in Montreal.

With the closing of Zeeba Books in 2011, the focus of the site shifted from just helping book dealers to cover topics on book selling, publishing, writing topics, and more.
