It’s been a rough few weeks with a gigantic Jon sized hole in it but we have been fuelled by your kindness and stayed open. Our bestseller so far by miles has been the choice we made with him in mind for next month’s bookgroup.

On Saturday someone complained to me that Len Deighton hadn't written anything new for ages.
He's quite old now I think, I said.
Even so, they said.
Len Deighton is 96.

Always nice to see someone taking a photograph of a barcode, on a book that can only be bought new from us.

There is no doubt in my mind that the character which comes the closest to DT is Alfred Jarry's Père Ubu.

Herman Melville got a train from London Bridge to Sydenham in April 1857 so as to visit the Crystal Palace. Discovered this today in Hershel Parker's bewildering biography

Four year olds are not too old for picture books. A beautiful book was turned down by someone in the shop yesterday due to the child being about to start school, and therefore "too old" for picture books.
Please don't force children to give up picture books too quickly.
