    As well as buying books directly from us there is another way you can support our little shop. 

    If you can't find the title you are looking for here on our website and you don't feel like waiting for us to order it in for you, you could order it via our link with Bookshop.org here.  Every purchase made using our bookshop.org link gives us a small commission percentage. Though it is not as much as purchasing directly every penny really does count. We are so grateful to each and every one of you who supports our little family business. 

    Why not head over now and take a look at some of the lists we've create to inspired you.

    This months 'Indie book of the month' is Case Study by Graeme Macrae. 

    You can grab a copy now in store or on our website. Our copies contain a signed bookplate. You'll also get a free notebook and postcard with your purchase (whilst stocks last) 

    "I have decided to write down everything that happens, because I feel, I suppose, I may be putting myself in danger." London, 1965. An unworldly young woman believes that a charismatic psychotherapist, Collins Braithwaite, has driven her sister to suicide. Intent on confirming her suspicions, she assumes a false identity and presents herself to him as a client, recording her experiences in a series of notebooks.

    But she soon finds herself drawn into a world in which she can no longer be certain of anything. Even her own character. In Case Study, Graeme Macrae Burnet presents these notebooks interspersed with his own biographical research into Collins Braithwaite.

    The result is a dazzling - and often wickedly humorous - meditation on the nature of sanity, identity and truth itself, by one of the most inventive novelists writing today.
