Tea Party with John Hegley



If you're in London next weekend, please do come along to our shop on Sunday 6th February, where the lovely John Hegley will be reading from his new book 'The Adventures of Monsieur Robinet.' The event is at 3:30pm, free, and will be hosted in the estate agents right next door to our bookshop on Archway Road. Bring friends, bring children. Imagine the Mad Hatter's Tea Party with a bit more poetry thrown in.

See you there!

Phewf

Hello! We're booting our antiquarian bookshop into the 21st century, and setting up a blog. Mainly just so we can tell you all how fabulous we are. Well, not really. Perhaps not all of the time. Mainly we'll be talking about the book industry, any author events that we've got coming up and any exciting new stock that lands on our doorstep.

As for us: we are a dying breed of bookshop with friendly clutter, books piled high, and a huge range to choose from. You can find us right next to Highgate tube station, but if you're not in London, you can view and search through most of our books over on ABE by clicking on this link here.

At the moment we have four members of staff including an actor, a writer [that's me] and an illustrator. We also have our lovely bookshop owner, Celia, and our fabulous bookshop dog, Daisy - a thirteen year old golden retriever who likes to plonk herself in the middle of our shop and dare you to try and make her move.

So, that's us - please come say hello to us, on here or in person. We'd love to hear from you.
