Thinking of Nigel Cox today on his anniversary. Always at my book selling shoulder. Xxx
If every bookshop tells a story... ours is too long to tell here. 2020 London Book Fair International Bookstore of the Year. Kids books at @unitylittle
- Imagine our surprise when one of our customers shared a photo of our paper bag text ( written by Nigel Cox) blown up on a shop window in Chicago’s @citylit_books
- One last book detective question for you all... Does a picture book that has the line "Captain Caster keeps going faster" ring any bells? Probably published about 30 years ago. Not Captain Najork, but definitely pirate adjacent
- Book detectives! More mysteries afoot... Can anyone remember an 80's/90's picture book about a naughty/spoiled little girl (possibly named Caroline) with the refrain "sweet little (name), lovely little (name)..." Said "Caroline" is allowed to stay up late & eat luxurious cakes.
- Book detectives, help us out! We have a lovely customer looking for a picture book, published between 95 & 03, with Shaun Tan Style/sepia illustrations, featuring a scene where a family drive to the beach & a mysterious island rises from the waves.... any clues appreciated!
