Happy Twixtmas to all our lovely customers & thank you for all your support & friendship throughout the year!

This is my last tweet for the late, lamented Twitter: I can now be found on Instagram at The Curious Bookseller…

Delighted that the swifts are still wowing us on Fore Street - far more enthralling than lumbering traffic… Soaring stuff indeed! @4thEstateBooks @JMLockhart2 @_SwiftPress @r_heisman @eandtbooks @LevParikian @JonathanCape @MarkCocker2
