We cater for little people too and no sooner had we put these out than two were sold and it was lovely to hear the customer outside telling her partner she was thrilled with them. Such things as these make our days.

How are you fixed for Frank Herbert novels written in German, Waugh in Spanish, Maeve Binchy in French and, what we believe to be a book in Ukranian on folk dances? Throw in three volumes of the writings of Mao Tse Tung ( in English) and you'll realise what a multilingual and multicultural time we had in the basement.
Thing is, is anyone remotely interested in them?

Someone knows their place when it comes to directing basement operations today.
Open up top until 5.

We are likely to be a smidgeon late opening the shop tomorrow, Thursday, but whether it is 10.12 or 10.34 we'll have these books to put on the shelves.

We rooted in the storeroom yesterday to bring you this Thursday selection but the gremlins prevented publication. We hope they are more amenable today.
