Don't forget to open the first door on your Samuel Beckett Advent Calendar today!
Title: Exclusive - Peek behind the doors of the Saumuel Beckett Advent Calendar Image: Nine open doors on an advent calendar which show - 1. A tree. 2. Three funeral urns. 3. Nothing. 4. A carrot and some turnips. 5. An empty room. 6. An abandoned bicycle. 7. Darkness. 8. A rock. 9. Nothing. Again.

‘The Exceedingly Tiny Bookshop’ my cartoon for today's Guardian Books. Let's all support good bookshops of any size, either locally or online.
Title: The exceedingly tiny bookshop It is no wider than its own narrow door but is easy to find as there is always a queue of eager customers outside. One at a time, they enter to find themselves uncomfortably close to the proprietor. His impeccable suggestions are mote than worth the indignity. In the miniature stockroom a professional contortionist is employed to unpack deliveries and replenish the display. The shelves can accommodate only eleven volumes, but each is chosen with such care that nobody leaves empty handed. On Saturday mornings, a local author reads stories to as many small children as can be wedged into the shop.
