WE'RE OPEN! Stock Take is DONE, and though it's always a bit of a slog, this year it was wonderful to discover so many titles we have on our shelves - I know it's a wee shop, but there's a couple of thousand books in stock and yesterday we uncovered many hidden gems - come take a look!

URGH! Stock Take! Disgusting! Gang, you know how much I detest closing the shop, but I'm afraid we've got to for annual stock take - that's right, tomorrow (Thursday the 22nd) is the one day of the year Typewronger will not open to the public at all - we'll be back as usual at 11am on Friday!

Our bookseller Jamie just finished THE TOWER by Fiona Carr. A phenomenal period piece set in Lochleven Castle, where Mary Queen of Scots, recently deposed, is locked up with her three most trusted women. We only have ONE singed copy left, but a regular copy can be ordered on our website!
