We are a small but mighty, award-winning, proudly independent bookshop in Bruntsfield, Edinburgh.
Afternoon off, so sipping coffee and going over notes for this evening's book launch - looking forward to hearing @lyndseycroal talk about her excellent new @LunaPressPublishing collection, Dark Crescent, inspired by Scottish folklore, at @TheEdinburghBookshop this evening

I feel very privileged to have seen ILYA's "Romo the Wolfboy" story in full, ahead of hoped for publication. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this beautifully told adventure story. The book is complete – it just needs further backers to cross over the line and into production.

#WhatWereReading : Joe loved Akira Otani's The Night of the Baba Yaga, translated by Sam Bett. #Japanese fiction with Yakuza, action, queer romance & a Tarantino sort-of vibe to it.
Out now from Faber & Faber

@miracorvino Colleague in our bookshop absolutely loved this, then went on to read Bella Mackie's How To Kill Your Family. We're not sure if we should be worried...

Shelley Fisher Fishkin's new book, Jim, about Huck Finn's companion, just arrived from Yale University Press. A perfect companion to Percival Everett's acclaimed novel, James, and, of course, the original Huckleberry Finn by the esteemed Sam Clemens.
