What says love better than a vintage Penguin paperback? A red vintage Penguin paperback of Shakespeare's Sonnets perhaps. These pink and red Penguins are new to our stock today.

A Tirzah Garwood snow woman from 1938, in honour of (or in hope of?) tomorrow's snow day:
Ink and wash picture of a snow woman, with a lovely pork pie hat, in a walled garden--a black bird on the wall behind her , a city scape in the distance. A melancholy expression on her face.

No one wants to spend Christmas in the hospital - but if you DO need the hospital over the holidays - please wear a mask.

For the staff, for yourself, for all the other patients.

The period between Christmas and New Years is rife for virus spread - mask up and stop transmission!

Due to the shop gifting me a Christmas lurg, the bookshop will now be closed until 2nd January so that I do not pass it on. With this comes my constant plea to anyone knowingly poorly with a virus (even if it feels mild to you) to please stay home or mask. Happy New Year and see you in 2025!

Stow-on-the-Wold on my way home yesterday. One advantage of a long commute is I get to enjoy the landscape or Christmas lights on my way home🎄

As we approach the Winter Solstice, here's what Stonehenge looked like in the 16th century.

I restocked cosy Christmas second hand paperbacks today! Grab one of these, a mince pie and a hot chocolate and put your feet up this afternoon 🎄

Book trees make the best Christmas trees. Discuss.

(p.s. I bought remaindered stock - multiple copies of the same book - for this purpose years ago, so no special books are harmed in the making of my book trees).

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!

I put the "let it snow" sign in the window on Sunday. Therefore, I'm pretty sure I made it happen!

As well as all things booky, bookish, booksellery &c., I'm also looking for recorder players and enthusiasts or baroque music nerds. Are you out there? Even better, recorder playing booksellers would be amazing. We could form a virtual group and call ourselves The Early Editions or Bookish Baroque.

Wow! BlueSky is taking off just as I was getting to grips with Threads. What do I do? I'm really liking Threads.....

I made a start on my Christmas windows today. Work in progress.
