The Bookshop is Moving

Books Books Books is Moving....I hope you'll come with us!

From Tuesday, 22nd May the bookshop will be at Rue Jean-Louis Gaillard 2. This is located in the Chauderon/Tour section of town, about a 2 minute walk from Holy Cow at Rue des Terreaux. 

Please note that there is parking directly outside the shop. We are still selling literature and non-fiction. We are still doing events. The life of the bookshop continues.

The shop is going to be closed from Thursday, 17th - Monday, 21st May while we make the move (this is the Ascension weekend). Please note that the new shop will be closed every Monday from 28th May until the end of August after which we will resume the normal opening hours. Having worked 6 days a week for 3.5 years I need a break!

In the next three weeks we will be liquidating more stock. We are also giving away 20 small, black 'Billy' bookcases - feel free to drop by the shop if you want to take some away.

Opening Party

Come and celebrate the new shop on the evening of Friday, 25th May. We'll be serving a sophisticated choice of cocktails from 6pm and have invited the bestselling writer Jon Steele to talk about his book The Watchers. Jon earned many awards as a camerman/editor, reporting the news from every corner of the world. In 2008 he lived for three months with an American combat unit, recording their lives for the documentary film, The Baker Boys: Inside the Surge.

He moved to Lausanne where he wrote The Watchers sitting in LP's bar at the Palace hotel and in the bell tower in the cathedral. The book is a gothic thriller and takes place in and around our beloved cathedral. Jon is an interesting guy and an excellent raconteur, particularly after one of my fabled cocktails.
