Having decided to submit an entry for the Independent Bookseller of the Year Award, we have been shortlisted for Scotland/Northern England region... so far so good!  We shall hear who the regional winners are during the second week in April.  The award is one of the Bookseller Industry Awards (aka "The Nibbies") which will take place on 17th May.

Great news!  "The Brownsbank Anthology" is now published and in stock.  It is an anthology of writing by visitors frae aa the airts, inspired by time spent at Brownsbank Cottage. Price £7.99.   This was a project started by Tom Bryan, the previous writer-in-residence and brought to fruition by Carl MacDougall, the current Brownsbank fellow.  It is an inspiring collection and a nicely produced book.  

Please see our events page for details of our competition to celebrate World Book Day.  The £1 WBD tokens will be issued as usual, and all children eligible for the token can also enter our competition.

Good news!  As we don't have to sell newspapers, we can report some good news... 

Happy to say that Atkinson-Pryce had a good run before Christmas with better figures than ever before (that's the till, not necessarily the staff...)  Many thanks to all of you who supported us and plowtered through the snow to find presents for friends and family.
