Hi everyone,

Further to our last update, we have sadly taken the decision to close the shop until the end of March due to the need for social distancing at this crucial time.

***We are instead offering free home delivery in Hackney by bike***

If you live further afield we can still post books to you free of charge for orders over £10 and a £1.50 delivery charge on orders below that. Email us and we’ll send you a payment link and then we'll post or deliver your book.

Do get in touch for requests or recommendations, we are more than happy to help you choose a book remotely via email or social media.

If you've already ordered a book for collection and live locally, we'll be in touch with a payment link and ask for your address to deliver it.

Thank you for continuing to support us during this difficult time.

Eleanor, Jo and Ollie

Hi everyone,

A note from us at this very worrying time. We remain open - for now, but will review this daily. However, there are some changes in store that are listed below. We would like to do our best to protect the vulnerable people in our community.

If you are self isolating or heeding recommendations to go out as little as possible, please email us for home delivery (we offer free delivery on orders over £10 and a £1.50 delivery charge on orders below that). You can email us for recommendations and we are more than happy to help you choose a book remotely.

In store:

• We have gone cashless
• We are asking for no more than 3 customers in the shop at one time
• We are cleaning door handles and the card machine several times a day
• We are asking you to spray your hands with sanitiser on the way in (for as long as our supplies last)
• Otherwise, we are following all the current recommendations on hand washing and sickness.

We have also cancelled all our shop events. If you have booked a ticket then we will be in touch about refunds on Monday. Obviously, as a small business this will affect us considerably, so if you would like to buy the book related to the event we've cancelled please email us and we'll send you a payment link and get it posted.

Do consider joining the Hackney Covid 19 Mutual Aid group on Facebook if you need local support or can offer it to anyone in need over the coming months.

If we are forced to close then we will look at home deliveries by bike in the local area, please keep an eye on our social media for updates.

Thank you for your support and understanding.

Eleanor, Jo and Ollie
