She said this—and it hits harder now than ever. Patti Smith isn’t just talking about paper and ink. She’s talking about something we’re quietly losing.

Books ask something of us. Time. Attention. Imagination. They don’t scroll. They don’t interrupt. They don’t fight for your focus every second.

And maybe that’s exactly why they matter.

In a world built to keep us distracted… a book is one of the last places where your mind is truly your own.

When was the last time you got lost in one?

BELATED GRATITUDE....

We opened Leigh Gallery Books on 3 December 1985.
So we recently passed the 40 year mark.

We didn’t celebrate because…hey!…what’s so clever about running a bookshop. Any fool can do it. In fact, a low I.Q. with a disregard for profit is a positive advantage.

But then it occurred to me. 40 years wasn’t so much an achievement as a bloody miracle*.

Made possible by a small but dedicated group of customers/friends.

So this is a sincere thank-you to all our customers, past and present, for your kind support.

What we be without you? Another place to eat?

Nick and Barrie

* It will be another miracle if we’re here for another year.
But we are open this weekend.
