It’s been no secret that the past 5 years have been a huge challenge for us - but we’ve always managed to find a way to make things work. We hope you’ll all support us in the next step of our journey as much as you have up until now - so it is with a (slightly) heavy heart that we’d like to announce that we’ll be closing the doors to our Albert Road shop in February.

A looming rent increase, potential changes to business rates incoming, and footfall being down on previous years have all added up to a decision that we knew would be coming one day, however, this isn’t the end for us - there’s no way that we’re going to give up on the wonderful community we’ve created around us, and that means we’re going to keep going, just in a bit of a different direction.

We’re going to go back to our roots and continue doing events, pop-ups, and markets anywhere that will have us - our website will still be available 24/7, our e-mail inbox always open for orders, recommendations, or anything else you need! We’ll start racking up some miles on the delivery bike again, just because the shop isn’t open, we’re still passionate about getting as many books into your hands as you’ll allow us to!

If you have any questions for us about what this may mean for you going ahead, then you know where we are - and please bear with us while we make this transition, it’s a big moment but we hope it will be positive and give us the freedom to evolve as a business - and when the time comes, we’ll find a new place to call home. 

Please make sure you sign up to our mailing list - alongside our social media channels, it will be the best way for us to keep you in the loop with what’s coming up and where we’ll be!

With love

Mel & Phil
