To celebrate which starts on Saturday, we are offering a loyalty card Double Stamp Weekend! Two stamps for every £10 spent. If you don't yet have a loyalty card, just ask at the till. And, don't forget, we are also still offering a free £5 National Book Token with every purchase (while stocks last - and they are going fast!) We hope to see lots of you this weekend, and across Independent Bookshop Week. And, as ever, thank you for supporting indie!
