The California Book Fair starts on February 10th and we will be there. Just finished packing up our books to take and they will be winging their way there in the next week. Whilst the fair will be on our shop will be open as usual for those who cannot get to Pasadena and sample the books and the Spring weather. We will be at Booth 507 https://www.abaa.org/cabookfair
We are closed, except by appointment between Christmas and New Year but re-open on 4th January 2023. Hoping all of you are having a great break. If you have been given a diary for Christmas, note also that it is the York One Day Book Fair on 14th January, 2023. 10.30am-4.30pm at the Knavesmire Suite, York Racecourse, York.
If you would like to visit us over the holiday period, please call us on 0780 394 1307
Today our advent calendars arrived, designed by Angela Harding and we will have them on sale in the next week. It is always a nudge for us to get going on ordering books we think you might all like for Christmas gifts for yourselves, friends and family. Do drop by if you are in York as the shop is beginning to fill up with tempting things.
