A sprinkle of snow on the tops in Grasmere, and chilly at ground level too. In the shop, the warming sight of book browsers with new reading.

It's an epiphany! Three wise men have got together and presented our January opening hours... Bookshop doors will be open Friday to Monday and closed Tuesday to Thursday. We'll still be here for online orders via email or our website bookshelves should you need new year reading.

OUR 2024 NERO BOOK AWARDS CATEGORY WINNERS 🤩🤩 Huge congratulations to Adam S. Leslie, Colin Barrett, Liz Hyder and Sophie Elmhirst 🎉 Find out more about each winning book by clicking here: nerobookawards.com/category-winne…

Due to the high winds of Storm Éowyn in the central lakes we're closed today. We plan to be open tomorrow as normal. We hope you're safe and warm and tucked up with a book somewhere cosy. Our online shop is open as ever, and if you can't find what you want there, do get in touch.

We'll be closed tomorrow (Friday 31st January) for some essential bookshop maintenance. Full 7 day opening returns on Saturday 8th February.

Exciting bookshop development!

Used some of my birthday money to treat myself to Nussaibah Younis Fundamentally! Was so excited to see a copy front and centre in the window of Sam Read Bookseller - very kind and friendly service there, and very much appreciated the birthday wishes from them too, thank you!

Just bought this in Oxfam. I hope it's not an omen!

I can't remember the last time I was so excited for the release of a book. Arrived today from Sam Read Bookseller in Grasmere. Robert Macfarlane bear with me, I'm a slow reader.

It was lovely to have an excuse to visit beautiful Grasmere #Cumbria after being invited by Sam Read Bookseller to sign copies of The Postal Paths. And then, of course, it was a walk down Huntingstile Lonning!

Look after our National Park: If you're affected by flycamping and littering where you live in Cumbria, download our poster and display it around your community:

"A great many must be walking over England nowadays for the primary object of writing books: It has not been decided whether this is a worthy object" - Edward Thomas. #NationalWalkingMonth

Red squirrels in the garden today

If you want to spend two days seeing this and learning what we’ve learnt, and questioning it… because that’s healthy too… then our Grazing School is in July with the brilliant Caroline Grindrod rootsofnature.co.uk/product/grazin…

Lovely to pop into the gorgeous Sam Read Bookseller in Grasmere this morning and sign copies of The Postal Paths.
