Typeface

The best independent bookstore in Applecross

02/08/2024

That's more like it! Good sales in school holidays and a couple of library events made July the best month this year. Onwards and upwards!

04/07/2024

Bit late to post this month as it was my birthday yesterday so being slack. Also July looking good as I was able to go and bank the cash from June and May that I wasn't able to do when my trusty Monday worker was travelling in Europe. Yay I have Mondays off again ๐Ÿ˜€.

04/06/2024

Sales for May were below average, though I did take some time off for sickness. Fingers crossed June makes up for it.

"The Barnes family is in trouble. Dickie's once-lucrative car dealership is going under, and while his wife is frantically selling off her jewellery on eBay, he's busy building an apocalypse-proof bunker in the woods. Meanwhile their teenage daughter is veering off the rails, in thrall to a toxic friendship, and her little brother is falling into the black hole of the internet...

Where did it all go wrong? The present is in crisis but the causes lie deep in the past. How long can this unhappy family wait before they have to face the truth? And if the story has already been written, is there still time to find a happy ending?"
