What’s better than a visit to #barterbooks?
Taking people there for the first time and sharing it with them 📚

I was lucky enough to see @LBFlyawayhome 'The Wonderful World of Ladybird Artists' when it was in Leicester & was delighted to go again today @bailiffgatemuse 🐞
My other half hadn't seen it before & had a great time going through the history titles shouting 'read it, read it...'

Not only is #maisiematilda's fore-edge work absolutely stunning, but I love the fact she uses second hand books: so many of which would otherwise end up being pulped. You can find her here: https://t.co/i6MtMcwEGX

@IndieBookshopUK @books_north @KenilworthBook I live in the North East (of England), lucky me, and it always makes me scream when I head home from visiting family in Kent to see a sign just after the Dartford Tunnel that says 'The North' and then gives the mileage to Watford

?IN WHOSE WORLD IS WATFORD 'THE' NORTH?
