Pop to the Shops: Books at Christmas

Here’s a tip for anyone wondering what to get me as a present – you can’t go wrong with a book. Books at Christmas are especially wonderful because there’s generally a bit more time to spend with them and the weather makes sitting around perfectly acceptable. We’re lucky to still have some great local, independent bookshops, both for adults and children – we need to use them or they will close; Muswell Hill have had to reduce their shop by half!

Here’s a list of some of the bookshops near you – and please let me know if there are any I have missed out:
