Our events board is FULL! So pleased we can bring these amazing authors to Bristol - Swipe for a little tour of the most delectable items to hit our tables in the last couple of weeks… pithy + insightful commentary below 👇 Trying to mix up the poses for a BOOKSELLER’S DOUBLE and this is what happens. Is there anything acceptable about this bodily display? No. Not at all. Another BOOKSELLER’S DOUBLE just in time for the weekend! Love to get on the first tread of the stepladder first thing in the morning so you can all get a load of our table. New stuff everywhere! Will be posting some bookseller reccos later, but rest assured January is a very good time to be scouring the books on display… lol #spare 👽SCI-FI BOOKSELLER’S DOUBLE👽 Taking advantage of the early sunshine to make this HUGE stack of new stuff look especially enticing (pls ignore that it is now raining outside with a biblical intensity). THE ONLY END-OF-YEAR LIST THAT MATTERS! 😴night night bookshop😴 We know a lot of you will be using this Saturday to finish off (or start) your Christmas shopping with us, so it's normally a pretty busy one in the shop and online. With that in mind, we thought it was the right day to give 15% of every pound spent with us back to the community, specifically the food bank at St Paul's Church down the road from us in Southville. We know what a vital support it is for those who use it. 🎄🎄🎄BOOKSELLERS’ FESTIVE RECOMMENDATIONS🎄🎄🎄 🎄🎄🎄Tree’s up, books ready, December sunlight tickling the tables: serenity just before we open and let you meet your new favourite read! 🌙LATE-NIGHT SHOPPING🌙 🎄A MORNING WITH THE GRUMPUS🎄 🗓️SUBSCRIPTION TIME🗓️ Is anyone else finding the festive feeling overtaking them a little earlier than usual this year? We’re not quite ready to switch the playlist over yet, but we’re definitely on the way… 🎄🎄🎄
