Have you ever noticed the grandfather clock that chimes away in the book department?

 

Did you know that it was made by Thomas Rayment in the very same building over 200 years ago and has finally come back home?

Stamford            ~       12:30pm

Monday 25th October

Come and meet teacher, school inspector, best selling and much loved author and Yorkshireman, Gervase Phinn, as he signs copies of his great new book:

Out of the Woods but not Over the Hill

Whatever you think of Nigella, she always uses ingredients that you already have in the cupboard and her recipes work a treat.

 

 Watch out for the new TV series starting soon.

CJ Sansom’s new Shardlake novel Heartstone. Great to have the new hardback out this autumn. Deserves to be a huge seller this autumn. Tudor whodunit and great story!

Tony Blair’s long awaited autobiography

A Journey is selling in such huge

numbers that the publishers are

having to print more.

The human and political dimension

of life as prime minister.
