Atticus will the open again next Saturday!
That is Saturday, the 9th of November. There is a possibility that I might not be feeling up to it and may have to cancel, but I think that is very unlikely.
If you have any book set aside, you can collect them then I will try to open from 10 till five as usual. I am not fully well so please excuse any difficulty in service. I hope it will improve as I improve. I have had difficulties with email recently and I'm very sorry if I haven't replied to you or you have had any junk from my address. I hope the problem is fixed now. If you have any donations to the shop and could bring them in on Saturday, they would be gratefully received. Thanks very much for your patience and looking forward to meeting you all again very soon.
