Lush. Another splendid edition. Love the ‘we’re not open Wednesdays’ conundrum. We opened a deli back in 2015. In January 2016 we had the WORST retail January EVER because “you’re not open on a Monday, are you?” … yep, that was the last business in this premises. “Oh, you’re not them then?” So true! We’re not!

Oh you’ll have to let us know when the figure skating book is available to order! Have you watched Netflix’s Spinning Out?

Intermezzo is also the title of a famous French book and I'm forever going to be confused about this

It’s official, Katie Clapham and her “Bookshop Receipts” are wonderful! Part P.G. Wodehouse and part pure Katie— these weekly receipts are tallied and delivered in delicious quality. Idea: Katie, bundle your first 50 receipts into novel— and you’ll have a winner. I will purchase it, promise! .. Meanwhile, let these receipts not cease — they are witty, hilarious, pure fun…

I don't mind hearing about the weather. All of the YouTube blogs I watch that are from the UK have a weather section as well :)

What a wonderfully kind gesture from your remote customer!

Ministry of Time has my attention just from the name.

Hello from Canada! Absolutely love your Receipts from the Bookshop - I am in Canada and would love to purchase your book "Three Girls" - what happens if I purchase this on Amazon (given the living in Canada thing and postage/shipping can be crazy) - will you still receive some form of compensation if I do so..... waiting to hear :)

Take good care, M

The Plackitt & Booth telephone number mix up is hilarious! I wonder if they receive calls from people asking for Storytellers Inc?

Why DO they put different actors names above the faces on posters?

Why does one want a velvet iPad stand?! Also, I hope my 12 year old doesn't hear about this because she'll definitely want one too.
