Goodbye to Les Liaisons Dangereuses 👋

Among the glittering salons of the super-rich, patriarchy equals power, reputation is everything - and for women, one misstep can mean ruin.

Twirl yourself into the shop, to pick up plays, books, and merchandise, while it's still stocked in the shop!

Gemma Correll came into the bookshop to sign her graphic novel, Anxietyland !

The award-winning cartoonist, writer, and illustrator takes us on a riotous journey through her struggles with anxiety, to the desperate search for relief and finally to the realization that it really is possible to feel OK again. Because sometimes, when you’ve tried every remedy, all you can do is laugh.

Signed poetry ✍

A big thank you to Zain Rishi for visiting us and signing copies of his debut collection, Noon.

In this striking first poetry pamphlet, Rishi guides readers through moments both intimate and expansive - from the heat of a school relay race to the warmth of his grandmother’s Kashmiri chai. These poems trace a powerful coming-of-age journey shaped by place, sexuality, and family ties.

Discover Noon in our poetry section, online and in store.
