Added Low Tech Magazine to my list of DRM-free bookshops.
Low-tech Magazine was founded in November 2007 and underscores the potential of past and often forgotten technologies and how they can inform sustainable energy practices.
It's a Sunday, which means another day in our bookshop! 2024 has been a patchy year so far, so I'm hoping the better (?) weather brings bookish types out! #bookshop#scottishborders#books
Added Ophelia Bell's shop to my list of DRM-free bookshops! 💜
Ophelia Bell is the USA Today bestselling author of the award-winning Fate’s Fools series and loves a good bad-boy and especially strong women in her stories.
Where (in England) do they sell physical copies of mathematics and physics textbooks that you can pick up and peruse before buying?
The obvious answer is Foyles on Charing Cross Road, but lately the selection of maths & physics textbooks there has been pitiful. They're barely bothering to stock textbooks any more (it didn't look much better for the adjacent chemistry and biology sections either), and lately when I've gone, it's not sated my need to physically shop for textbooks.
And of course, I've added Retro Game Books to my growing list of DRM-free bookshops.
Whenever you upload an ebook you've bought from there to your personal Libreture library, remember to mark where you bought it, so others can find and buy it too! 👍
Visiting Bow Castle Broch we took advantage to have lunch in the #Cloudhouse Cafe as well as getting a book fix at the wonderful Wedale bookshop in Stow (rhymes with Wow not Toe), perfectly situated for the walk and close to one another in Stow.
Been to Alnwick today to swap a box of kids books for a handful of weightier tomes at Barter Books. We then popped into town to search out a new independent bookshop. What a brilliant find. The Accidental Bookshop is well worth a visit. Article here from its opening in 2022.
