The Book Lady, Finland
is closed for business
#thanksBreksh*t! now at The Story Lady, Finland
The Book Lady, Finland is no more... she has ceased to be...
I was an Independent Usborne Organiser - I organised Usborne Book parties & events where you could buy, browse and order Usborne Books for Children. You could book me & my books to come & visit your home for a party or your school for a Book Event and in return I donated lots of books to your families and your schools.

APOLOGIES! SORRY!
If you're waiting to hear from me, or receive your orders. A lovely swarm of wasps decided to nest in the space where the books are currently stored, so we're "encouraging" them out!!
Hopefully, I can continue in a day or two.
Pleazzzzzzzz be patient, thank you.

WHAT'S IN STOCK?
Some of you have asked, quite rightly, what I have in my stock. The answer is too many titles to list here! So, here are the pictures I took of my stock last summer. Some of these titles have been sold already, so it's a good indication rather than exactly what I have. I hope it helps.
Please ask if you're looking for something in particular.
What's in stock? 34 new photos · Album by Maria Vatanen
I will be placing my LAST ORDER at the end of June. EDIT: My final order will be processed on Monday 28th June.
Have a look at the catalogue on my website and send me the titles, ISBN numbers and sterling prices. The link to my online catalogue is in the comments section below. The EURO price will equal the Sterling price on the website. e.g. £9.99 = €10. Of course, if I have it in stock, it'll be HALF PRICE!
A few days before the month ends, I will be in touch for payment and delivery details.
As in parts One & Two payment is by bank transfer and must clear before I process the order. Delivery is at cost by Posti parcel unless you're in Turku. I will send out new books shortly after I receive them (normally 7-10 days after I order.
All my stock must go!
So, ask me about specific titles I might have in stock.
Everything will be HALF PRICE. The EURO price will match the Sterling price on the cover. E.g. £9.99 = €5
As in Part One, payment is by bank transfer and delivery outside Turku will be at cost via Posti parcel locker.
Message me with your WISH LIST.
Now just for now but think ahead, too (Birthdays, Christmas, Halloween, Back to School...)
Include the ages & interests of the children in your life children (or you!).
If you're a teacher, what ages & subjects do you cover?
As I go through the stock, I'll contact you with titles you might be interested in. There'll be no obligation to buy what I offer but I will need a quick yes or no.
At the end of the month I will assemble your order for payment and delivery.
Payment is by bank transfer. Orders will not be delivered without payment.
If you're in/near Turku, you can collect/meet up. Otherwise, you pay Posti parcel locker delivery at cost.
