After our giddy excitable Santa drew "too soon" comments, here's our more restrained photo of books you might like to consider buying as presents. Maybe Christmas presents, but that's a long time off yet, isn't it? Check our online shop. Sorry, we don't sell wrapping paper☺️ gritstonecoop.co.uk/shop/

Authors should _never_ look in bookshops for their titles. That way lies despair. But my eye was nevertheless caught in @waterstones.bsky.social in #York by my latest book peeping out at me. Books by my @gritstonebooks.bsky.social colleagues also on the shelves. Nil desperandum.

Quietly re-reading an impeccably honest, well-researched and attributable book about a walk from Scotland to England. The Borders - The Land We Share by @andrewbibby-writer.bsky.social is the perfect antidote for those scarred by the #SaltPath revelations. It's fascinating and beautifully written.
