Good to see Peter Willis and his Peckham second hand #book and #zine shop BOOKS getting a write-up in the Frieze Week magazine:
https://www.frieze.com/magazines/frieze-week/frieze-week-london-2025
They name BOOKS (https://books-peckham.com/) as one of London’s best young #art #bookshops.
It was at the Centre for Postdigital Cultures (https://postdigitalcultures.org/about/) that Peter (https://hcommons.org/members/pwillis/) did his PhD in material and technological histories of zine culture.
www.frieze.comFrieze Week London 2025 | frieze week | FriezeWelcome to Frieze London. After last year’s energising redesign, I’m delighted to present one of the most international editions of our flagship fair ever. Frieze London, like the city itself, is a convening of today’s most exciting artistic minds, a snapshot of what the global art world is thinking and producing right now. is year’s edition is more global than ever, with new galleries joining us from Tunisia, Japan and Brazil, reflecting the ever-expanding scope of the art world.
Delightful visit from Chloe Michelle Howarth, signing copies of her novels Sunburn and Heap Earth Upon It, published by Verve.
#CoverReveal : We're obviously always delighted to celebrate one of our (very!) local literary stars, Muriel Spark, and Hodder has James Bailey's Like a Cat Loves a Bird, "a spiky and delicious new literary biography", coming next April.
Always happy to visit a new bookshop! Village Books in South Downtown just opened a couple weeks ago. There’s a lovely selection of books - come check it out! #books #Atlanta #southdowntown #bookshops

Jack created this mischievous wee ghost, cheekily rubbing out the "k" in "bookshop".

We were also delighted to have a visit from Shona MacLean, author of The Bookseller of Inverness, kindly bringing Marie an advance copy of her next book (due Feb 2026), The Cromarty Library Circle (pub Quercus)
We had a visit from Caroline Young, who kindly signed copies of her new book Single & Psycho: How Pop Culture Created the Unstable Single Woman, published by the nice gang at Indie publisher, Sarband Books.
Signed copies of the fab Kathy Burke's A Mind of My Own are in stock now, grab them before they're gone!
We have reached the point of the year where that great, old friend of booksellers and librarians everywhere, the cardigan, has made its first appearance of the season.
Remain calm, this is perfectly normal.
Jack has worked his magic brushes to create this lovely window celebrating Rob MacFarlane's wonderful Is A River Alive? (Pub Hamish Hamilton), one of our own Joe's favourite #books of the year.
"From sunrise the wind blows
Always to sunset
Going where the stars go
My breath the wind
This little boat my body
Its ragged sail my soul
Going where the stars go"
So Far, So Good, the final, posthumously published #poems of the wonderful Ursula Le Guin, queen of words and worlds (incidentally the author chosen most in my long-running Edinburgh SF Book Group)
"Many Bothans died to bring us this information..."
#StarWars - the Blueprints, from Dorling Kindersley,, the perfect gift for the scruffy nerd herder in your life
Shine on, you crazy diamond...
New #music books hitting the shelves, good potential pressie subjects (hint, hint!)
When you erase words, you erase worlds that were, and worlds to come.
Readers resist.
