A brilliantly varied Friday stack today. The Marlow Murder Club by Robert Thorogood is charming cosy crime, She Said by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey reads like a thriller despite being all too real, and On the Map by Simon Garfield is a fascinating bit of non-fiction for the curious. A Michael Connelly crime novel and a warm Fern Britton read round things off nicely.

There's something about June that makes The Secret Garden feel particularly relevant.

Available in A3, A4 and A5 from £7.50 in the Gifts section at strangebooks.co.uk, designed and printed by me.

The US Open starts Thursday and I couldn't resist. Gary Player's Golf Class: 162 Lessons For The Weekender started life as strip cartoons in the Sunday Express, and this copy came with actual original newspaper clippings of the strips tucked inside. Gary Player was one of golf's all-time greats, one of only a handful of players to have won all four majors. A genuinely fun find, very good condition, £15. strangebooks.co.uk

Here’s something new. Every book at StrangeBooks is a one-off, so when it sells, it’s gone. Which is lovely if you got there first and quietly heartbreaking if you didn’t.
So from now on, you can ask me to keep watch for you. Tell me an author you love, or one you’ve been hunting for, and I’ll email you whenever a book of theirs lands on my shelves. No newsletter, no nonsense, just a quick note from me when something arrives.
Want in? Drop an author in the comments or send me a message and I’ll add you to the list.
