Sadly I have yet to meet Jonathan Main at Bookseller Crow. However, I know him to be a very good thing. Jon is rather under the weather & they need a bit of an umph.
If you were going to buy books from us online in the next few days, please don't.
Buy them from them instead.

@gracedent.bsky.social Hi Grace.
Love the review of Juliet’s.
Small error in the article though. The Woolpack doesn’t have a library, it has a small pop up bookshop which we curate, lovingly.
Topped it up last night in fact.

BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, edited by @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social is absolutely brilliant this morning. It’s a masterclass in the importance of reading and literacy, especially in early years. When I get a chance I’ll link to specific clips.

On Friday we had a sell out gig with @dannydorling.bsky.social at The Long Table on inequality and what we can do. Sobering and informative, but also positive and enabling. Thanks to everyone involved for coming along
