After meeting Rick Astley at the Booksellers Assoc

After meeting Rick Astley at the Booksellers Association conference last weekend, I’m missing him so much I’ve decided to hang out with a life size cardboard cutout of him in the shop today. Why not pre-order his autobiography, Never, on our website or in store? It’s out 10th October and we’re getting indie exclusive editions. Check out the link in our bio for this and other pre-orders of great stuff coming in October.

A selection of great books released on another bum

A selection of great books released on another bumper publication day today!

My pick of this lot is Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton, an absolutely brilliant piece of nature writing.

‘When lockdown led busy professional Chloe to leave the city and return to the countryside of her childhood, she never expected to find herself custodian of a newly born hare. Yet when she finds the creature, abandoned, alone and no bigger than her palm, she is compelled to give it a chance at survival.

Raising Hare chronicles their journey together and the challenges of caring for the leveret and preparing for its return to the wild. We witness first-hand an extraordinary relationship between human and animal, reconnecting with our childhood enthusiasm for wildlife. This improbable bond of trust serves to remind us that the most beautiful experiences, inspiring the most hope, arise when we least expect them.’

Fancy a Booker book for the weekend? This year’s

Fancy a Booker book for the weekend? This year’s shortlist is a fine treat. My eye’s on James by Percival Everett.

This is very exciting. A new British Library Tales

This is very exciting. A new British Library Tales of the Weird edited by the crew at Weird Walk. Strange and unnerving classic tales of rambling, could The Haunted Trail be the best collection yet?

We’ve done a restock on all your favourite Tales of the Weird to celebrate this release, loads of copies in stock. They’re all excellently weird.

Happy publication day to @misterosman and @d_a_n_j

Happy publication day to @misterosman and @d_a_n_jones! These books are works of beauty. The sprayed edges on Henry V are incredible (see our story for details!)

So many brilliant hardbacks out right now, check out this small selection of what we have in stock. Come down and treat yourself. It’s cold outside which means it’s definitely time to get cosy and lost in a really good book!

I love a great big stack of Book & Bottle book clu

I love a great big stack of Book & Bottle book club books. For September we’re reading Diva by Daisy Goodwin.

´In the glittering and ruthlessly competitive world of opera, Maria Callas is known simply as la divina: the divine one. With her glorious voice, instinctive flair for the dramatic and striking beauty, she’s the toast of the grandest opera houses in the world. Yet her fame has been hard won: raised in Nazi-occupied Greece by a mother who mercilessly exploited her, Maria learned early in life how to protect herself.

When she meets the fabulously rich shipping magnate, Aristotle Onassis, her isolation melts away. For the first time in her life, she believes she’s found a man who sees the woman rather than the legendary soprano. Desperately in love, Onassis introduces her to a life of unbelievable luxury, mixing with celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.

And then, suddenly, it’s over. The international press announce that Onassis will marry the most famous woman in the world, former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy, leaving Maria to pick up the pieces.’

Come and grab yourself a copy, or you can order one on our website. We next meet on Monday 14th October (note the date change!!)
