The Bookshop Book
From the oldest bookshop in the world, to the smallest you could imagine, ‘The Bookshop Book’ examines the history of books, talks to authors about their favourite places, and looks at over 200 weirdly wonderful bookshops across six continents (sadly, we’ve yet to build a bookshop down in the South Pole).

Waterloo-City, City-Waterloo
£4.99Waterloo-City, City-Waterloo
In ‘Waterloo-City, City-Waterloo’, Leanne Shapton creates an authorly and artistic response to the Waterloo and City line’s particular length and those who travel on it. She observes the particularities of the line’s rush-hour passengers and imagines a number of their interior monologs, in both verbal and visual detail. The variety of commuters ruminations and obsessions result in a detailed and illustrated breakdown of the line’s distance and time – its brevity, its passage between only two stations, its existence as almost primarily a shuttle for office workers going between their homes and the business district of the city.

End to End
£9.99End to End
The End to End record is the longest place-to-place cycling record in Britain. It is a daunting 842 miles and for the men and women who attempt to break the record, there can be no second place, only the binary outcome of total success or failure. Paul Jones decided to ride from Land’s End to John o’ Groats in an attempt to understand the relentless physical and mental challenges involved. ‘End to End’ is a captivating and beautifully written narrative. A portrayal of hope and ambition, of what happens when things go wrong and how hard it is to make them right. It is about courage, obsession and joy, but above all else, it is a compelling exploration of why journeys matter for all of us.
