@rebeccaromney @FoxtailBooks Do let us know about anything that slips through. New print on demand sellers are popping up all the time, and we can't spot them all ourselves!

@HungryGap Hiya! I just got an automated response saying casting was over for the cookery show, but the BBC website says today is the deadline. Is the website wrong? https://t.co/YsYjNYJVPW

The inadvertent irony of Brexiters who voted to abolish free movement only to discover that abolishing free movement means that movement will no longer be free.

Charges were filed today in the Carnegie Library thefts. A detailed account has been published in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, but their online version it is not available in the European Union, so we have created a PDF version available on our blog https://t.co/ksfvdvg2qT

cosmic horror isn't scary anymore; meaninglessness of the universe is now the status quo assumption, not a shocking revelation.
It's time for a counter horror genre; one where the terror inducing secret is a universe overloaded with meaning and purpose. https://t.co/MADZagiC8T

Yikes! This is why antiquarian book and manuscript dealers have to be so careful about provenance. @ClassicFM973 https://t.co/rR8RFqBdaH

Stormzy’s new initiative is absolutely amazing

I hate to say this, but Brexiters would be right to reject PM’s plan. Dual EU/UK tariffs would create vast red tape, smugglers would boom,Parliament would be humiliated. MPs would rubber stamp goods/agri rules from Brussels - right to refuse would never be used as costs too high.

Finding old and rare books on @eBay and @eBay_UK is now much easier with @vialibri. We have just added over 30 million eBay "Buy It Now" books to the many millions that we were already searching. Check our blog for details. https://t.co/FmHb2H0kRk

Happy to see more media coverage of the increasing concern over proposed EU cultural goods import regulation. https://t.co/vHhlQhb0bD

Some of this week's bakes 😁

[Alasdair North @al_north]

After 381 amendments the new EU Cultural Goods Regulations still look like they're going to be a disaster for antiquarian book dealers & buyers. 😠

This is just so sad. Trees that have stood for thousands of years have suddenly started dying off in the last decade. https://t.co/naAvbgdYfx
