I just think it's amazing that we've managed to get to this point in such a short amount of time. The initial target was £500 and the initial intention was just to replace the books that had been burnt. So never in my wildest dreams did I think it would go as far as it did. The level that it reached and it got so far unwise was just unbelievable.

I think I'm feeling overwhelmed more than anything else, but also so proud of everyone who's been involved and who continues to be involved as Spello continues to grow on the back of this. I think everyone around the world has got a connection to a good story. Everyone's got a book that they love.

And if all of this hasn't proved how much we need these spaces and how much we as a society value them, then I don't think anything will.
