We have some *very* special signed copies of Alan

We have some *very* special signed copies of Alan Moore’s The Great When.

A propulsive tour through a fantastical London, where history and myth collide, murder stalks the streets and the mundane becomes very magical indeed…The year is 1949, the city London. Amidst the smog of the capital is Dennis Knuckleyard, a hapless eighteen-year-old employed by a second-hand bookshop. One day, on an errand to acquire books for sale, Dennis discovers a novel that simply does not exist.

It is a fictitious book, a figment from another novel. Yet it is physically there in his hands. How?Dennis has stumbled on a book from the Great When, a magical version of London beyond time and space, where reality blurs with fiction and concepts such as Crime and Poetry are incarnated as wondrous, terrible beings.

But this other, magical London must remain a secret: if Dennis cannot find a way to return this book to where it belongs, he risks bizarre and disastrous repercussions, such as his body being turned inside out (or worse). So begins a journey delving deep into the city’s occult underbelly and tarrying with an eccentric cast of sorcerers, gangsters, and murderers – some from legend, some all too real, and all with plans of their own. Soon Dennis finds himself at the centre of an explosive series of events that may alter and endanger both Londons forever.

Thrilling, lyrical and sparkling with dark humour, The Great When is the first book in a new series by Sunday Times-bestseller and icon, Alan Moore.

** Genuine signed copies (not bookplated) ** (£20)

We need to say a huge thank you to Wendy Pratt for her fantastic event today. It was a pleasure to meet her, we got such a great insight into her writing and we can’t express enough how moving and inspirational The Ghost Lake is. We’re looking forward to reading Wendy’s accompanying poetry collection coming in November.

It’s fair to say that it’s felt slightly Autumnal this week which means it must be almanac time 🙌

There are five beauties in stock this year from a Forager’s almanac to Gardening almanacs and even a children’s almanac too. The Seasonal Guide to 2025 by Lia Leendertz even comes with a free tote bag while stocks last!

You can find them all on our website here:

Sometimes a book comes in that catches us all by surprise. We weren’t sure what to expect from this Joe Lycett book but oh my… what a masterpiece!

Personal favourites include portraits of Gail Platt, Priti Patel and Mick Hucknall but there are so many others to choose from along with a brilliantly funny narrative by Joe. The ideal talking point and coffee table book and a way to spend several hours on a Saturday afternoon.

We have three **signed** copies on our website for postage or local pickup. When they’re gone they’re gone!
