But alas it’s time again to leave the forest and getContinue reading “An ode to berries”

…we leave town. Just kidding, but it’s usually hard to attract customers during the festival. In any case, we’ll be closed tomorrow while we conclude our little family reunion. All four grandkids were helping out sorting books yesterday and now half of them are heading home to Barcelona. We’re open today, August 8, from 1.30Continue reading “When the festival comes…”

A little summer surprise for all you eager customers. We’ll be open today and tomorrow, August 5 and August 6, from 2 to 5 (14.00 to 17.00) so do come by and load up as the summer sale continues.

Now that summer has arrived in reality as well as on the calendar it seems only right that we should once again lower the prices of pocket books, cds, lps, dvds, 78s and 33s to 25 kronor and non-pocket fiction to 50 kr. So do come by and load up!

We’ll be open tomorrow and closed on Friday and Saturday to celebrate the coming of summer. Let’s hope that the season changes in more ways than one.

Sometimes, it’s not such a bad thing to have your head in the sand, literally, that is, especially if you’re on the beach near Tarragona in Spain, a bit off the beaten tourist track, where we spent the weekend.
