We get varied books in all areas where possible to encourage exploration, and take customer orders. This is both. @stuhennigan.bsky.social books in store, both requested to be saved for an order. I read Ghost Signs when first out, recommend! Not found time for Keshed yet, it is on my list.

I didn't post this yesterday because we were too busy getting our April issue launchedβ€”but I've written a piece in it! It's about a big current in the Atlantic ocean, how it could collapse, and to what extent we, in the UK, are prepared for that.
