Imagine our surprise when one of our customers shared a photo of our paper bag text ( written by Nigel Cox) blown up on a shop window in Chicago’s @citylit_books

One last book detective question for you all... Does a picture book that has the line "Captain Caster keeps going faster" ring any bells? Probably published about 30 years ago. Not Captain Najork, but definitely pirate adjacent

@bobayeon Not at the moment, but we have lots on order! Give us a call if you want us to put a copy aside when it gets in.

Book detectives! More mysteries afoot... Can anyone remember an 80's/90's picture book about a naughty/spoiled little girl (possibly named Caroline) with the refrain "sweet little (name), lovely little (name)..." Said "Caroline" is allowed to stay up late & eat luxurious cakes.

@JessdotGlen This could be it! We will ask our customer, and let you know! Thanks for your excellent detective work! 🕵️‍♀️

Book detectives, help us out! We have a lovely customer looking for a picture book, published between 95 & 03, with Shaun Tan Style/sepia illustrations, featuring a scene where a family drive to the beach & a mysterious island rises from the waves.... any clues appreciated!

@antzlapwood Tove Jansson has the best story cycles, after Elizabeth Strout. The Summer Book is brilliant. George Saunders's stories aren't connected but feel like it...

@EmEnSpace @aliebenge3 See if you can find a copy of the Blue Bear book somewhere! It's such a gem and would be amazing to read aloud!

[Unity Books Auckland @UnityBooks]

@EmEnSpace @aliebenge3 The Moomintroll books, The 13 & 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear, The Knife of Never Letting Go, Lockwood & Co, When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead, Holes by Louis Sachar and I second The Northern Lights series! Could also start the Discworld series? (Hera, Little Unity)
