Some good sales for ‘Grow your own drugs’ James Wong ,Collin,its the book of the TV series . Having examined the book I find that the recipe for a memory booster is 1 Bottle of wine and 5 sprigs of rosemary. You place the rosemary in the wine for 2 weeks and then drink a small glass after dinner. Hmm … personally it seems a waste of wine to me , I would rather have a large glass with the dinner and use the rosemary to cook potatoes with.
We had an author event last night Emily Barr ,which went well, unfortunatly Hailey, a brilliant bookseller but prone to over embibing has lost all her keys, that is our shop keys as well, she is leaving soon…
The other book which is rather naff but really heartwarming is ‘A lion called Christian’ the lion cub was bought from a well known london depatment store in the 60s. Eventually iafter many years as a pet around the kings road, was repatriated to a zoo park in africa. And when the guys came to see the lion a year or so later it recognised them in a remarkable reunion. See it on You Tube.
So our street is still being dug up by the gas board but spring is nearly here and we are planning our easter displays and author events. On the horizon is an event with Damian Horner and his wife about selling and moving to france… and even further a book to be published by our own publishing arm Mabecron Books about two birds who get on a ferry… every year for 6 years, I can’t say to much more but its likly to be written by a very famous author and is an enchanting story set here in cornwall.
