OK, so, last week Hat and Regie were joined by old friends of the show Tina and Simon to chat about the late, great Sir Terry Pratchett.

The Wednesday Waffle Issue 21: Punishing Times, but a Batman Returns to find the Way of X.
Well here we still are, still locked down but finding our feet and getting the invoicing/delivery system back up and running smoothly.

We survived the first two, and we have every intention of surviving this one too. We will remain fully open online and will continue to offer free delivery within Harrogate and Knaresborough. There's a good chance you're locked down too and in need of something to read - we're always ready with recommendations, and we can send graphic novels
