Hello. Unfortunately the bookshop will be closed for the rest of this week while I recover from some minor surgery. I had hoped to be back in the shop this week but sadly it wasn’t to be. Please accept my apologies if you have visited the shop or plan to and have been disappointed. But, the bookshop will be back to normal next week and open as usual. Many thanks for your patience. If you have any questions about the shop or the books we sell please do get in touch. I look forward to serving you again next week. All the best, Duncan
