Under the Leaves

19/06/2026

For anyone who came to 's reading last week and was interested in her Slow Travel Guide: here it is, back in stock and available for all mindful travellers. So, no excuses, off you go (but do come see us in the shop first 😇)!

Acclaimed author Christian Kracht is coming back to the shop just in time for the English translation release of his wondrous latest novel, ‘Air’.
Christian will be reading and chatting with the brilliant writer and friend of the shop Sean Lusk. There will be plenty of time for book signings, question, and maybe even some answers.
It will probably last about an hour and there will be some mingling and lingering around afterwards, for those who choose to stay.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Here.

Friday July 17th, 6pm, Under the Leaves.

Read yourself happy, beautiful people!
(Or happier, if you’re already there.)
It’s Independent Bookshop Week and we’re offering £5 National Book Token vouchers with all book purchases (while they last) AND double loyalty cards stamps, all week long! Crazy! 🤪 📚 😜 📚

Soooooo, the World Cup’s on and, yes, greedy horrible people are doing their best to ruin the beautiful game, but it can still be a wonderful thing if we push through the power, corruption and lies. There’s a corner of our heart which will always be devoted to it, and there’s a corner of the bookshop which will be temporarily devoted to it. 😊 ⚽️

Big thanks to for her wonderful chat on slow travel and fast animals this evening. Look out for her two books, ‘Where to Watch Wildlife in Britain: By Low-carbon Transport’ and ‘North East Scotland (Slow Travel Guide)’. 💚

And equally big thanks to everyone who turned up on a rainy night to fill the shop! 💚
