Our WRONGA cards are BACK! Using them couldn't be simpler - whenever you buy a book from the shop present your WRONGA card and we will stamp it with a wee ladybird. Once you've collected ten ladybirds you can hand it in at the till to receive any book in stock half price!

Tee's been upcycling old risograph ink tubes to make the studio even cosier. Would you like to buy a set of these to decorate your home? Well you CANT! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! But you CAN book yourself on an intro-to-riso zine-making workshop - typewronger.com/product-cate...

WRONG DIRECTIONS WINTER SUBMISSIONS CLOSE TOMORROW AT MIDNIGHT!
The mysterious editor TSJH famously hates love poetry - so don't send none of that nonsense - and is a stickler for the submissions guidelines which you'll find on the Wrong Directions page under the "about" section of typewronger.com

We've just gained a new BIGGER main display table to show off EVEN MORE BOOKS! And our SIGNED table is overflowing with beautiful signed and indie exclusive titles. Feel free to peruse ye olde typewronger.com or drop by the shop to bask in their glory!

We got asked to take a picture of the team outside the shop for some forthcomming news stuff. The first pic is the winner, but I thought I'd include some of the others of us goofing around. Many thanks to Tai Kedzierski for taking these and enduring our nonsense!
