New Morning Books

A new biography of Clydeside revolutionary John Maclean; currently in stock.

The inflow of books into the shop has reached such ( I hesitate to say volume) proportions that I am forced to scale Matterhorns of ingenuity to get them shelved; having toiled all week and reduced the tottering ziggurats somewhat, I am confronted with an elderly gentleman with 7 square metres of nonfiction, mostly history & philosophy of science, and will I take them in?
Yes I will; because if I don't, there is a very good chance that they will end up as landfill after his death; and we're not having that.....

As a general rule I don't stock periodicals but there are a few exceptions, a prominent one being women's magazines 1930s-60s, sought after by some young women for fashion illustrations and patterns; surely a trendlet rather than a craze but I have more than once sold some to women dressed entirely in black, clunky shoes and all, who reappear after some months dressed like Deborah Kerr, only better.

Customer/supplier bringing books to the shop, including an Alison Weir jobbie on Henry VIII, are treated to my rendition of that music hall classic, "I'm Henery the VIIIth, I Am": absolutely free of charge; some dates still open, folks, but hurry hurry hurry to avoid disappointment.....
