Thanks to all those who braved the drizzle at our July monthly book market. The four rooms of books upstairs offered plenty of dry space of course but last week's postponement (bad forecast - good weather) was not a good idea as it turned out (good forecast - bad weather). We'll have another go on August 7th (10-1) when Mama Bear's Cake & Prosecco bar will be open (seeing is believing...), and successive first Saturdays for the forseeable future.

Those giving me stick for starting a Claude Cox Books Instagram presence and not adding to it every waking hour of the day, may be amused at our new post of an exclusive 'sub tarpaulin' book-browsing technique. A 'sailor's tarred oilskin hat' would certainly have been de rigeur for our determined browsers last Saturday.
