Rare Mags

Hello and good morning. We’re the blue one with all the books and magazines, in between the fallen down buildings, across the road from Pigeon Hotel and under the big church.

Tomorrow we’ll be reading the classic Rufus at Baby Book Club. Bring your babies, drop in between 2pm and 4pm, free, teas and coffee on us, lots of book chewing, chatting and immersing young brains in books.

Shapes (some are pointy, some are not), Rufus (a bat who paints a big star on his belly - SPOILERR), a complete rundown of pasta - what it is, what to do with it, finally flying, right up there & all over the place. These ones are for your little ones or for you. We don’t mind.

Comfort, Shapes, Luddites. We have range.

It’s the new issue of A Rabbit’s Foot - eating on screen, Rose Wylie, big coats, bad taste, Noémie Merlant, and someone called Al and someone called Ingmar. It’s about cinema and it’s very good and this time is SILVER too. Extra fancy.

Morning morning you lot. As usual too much new print to mention, get on the site for the full rundown. Not sure exactly what entertainment we have planned for you today, requests welcomed.

The magazine shelves are looking particularly stacked at the moment… new ones from , , , , and just landed in the building.

Weird ones in now. Weird ones in always.

New ins, out todays, poetry, fiction, non-fiction, translations, pre-orders. All the goods.

It’s out. Flip it’s good. That’s all.
