'ABSOLUTE HEAVEN' INDIA KNIGHT'WARM AND UPLIFTING' AJ PEARCE'THE PERFECT ANTIDOTE TO THE WORLD RIGHT NOW' JENNIE GODFREYMany of us dream of owning a bookshop, but for Katie Clapham it happened by accident, when she moved back to the seaside town she grew up in and went into business with her mum. Once a week, Katie sits behind the counter and chronicles the day's comings and goings - mostly people who were actually hoping to catch her mother. The triumphs here are small but hard won: a tea crisis averted, a book title correctly identified from a cryptic clutch of clues. Not to mention the emotional rollercoaster of being named the Seventh-Best Bookshop in the Country by The Times on a day where takings came to around £16.98. Customers appear for a browse and a chat, in search of a recommendation or the perfect gift. Others enter the shop for more unexpected reasons − to borrow a screwdriver, locate a priest or simply to ask if there's 'a nice place for an omelette around here'. Each day brings its own joys and frustrations, though not always in equal measure . . . Funny, surprising and affectionate, here is a bookseller's year in all its weirdness and wonder - a life-affirming celebration of bad weather, good books and the irreplaceable role of a local bookshop.

';An utterly delightful peek into the real life of an English village bookshop, as told to us by the owner herself. A must-read for everyone who's ever felt most at home in a bookstore.' - Julia Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of Bridgerton
Based on the popular Substack that Julia Quinn calls ';delightful' and India Knight describes as ';absolute heaven,' a quirky and gossipy insider glimpse at a year in the life of a family-owned bookstore in a seaside English townas told by the store's owner.
One summer not long ago, bookseller Katie Clapham began chronicling life at the small independent bookstore she runs with her mother in the English seaside town of Lytham St Annes. Her cozy bookshop diaries detail the romance and frustration of running your own bookstore - from the loyal customers to the feisty passers-by, and the deliveries filled with tempting new stock to the never-ending aftermath of cardboard boxes. Katie faithfully records the change of seasons from sad January to exhausting December, punctuated with visits from inquisitive dogs, adorable children, and people just looking for a good place to get an omelette around here.
Tender, funny, and thoughtful, Receipts from the Bookshop is a love letter to everything we hold dear: small towns, family, book chat, hot cups of tea, and just the right snack at 11 AM....
A valentine for book lovers everywhere.Cozy armchair travel for anyone who loves England.Reminds readers why bookstores are our happy place.The perfect story of a small family business built on love and commitment.A warm, funny look at community in a small seaside town.

- " This irrepressibly bouncy tour of all the school essentials (including toilets, emergency meeting tree and library with possibly more than a million books) humorously distills the scariness of starting school and the thrill of making a new friend." - The Guardian- "A fun and pacy picture book on the important job that is showing a new kid around school, aka giving them 'The Tour'. Shireen’s illustrations ramp up the chaotic energy." - The Bookseller - "A simultaneous knee-slapper and heart-warmer that is sure to become a read-aloud hit. A first purchase for collections, offering a humorous, inviting, and fresh approach to the new kid experience." - School Library Journal "A remarkably sweet, funny, and thoughtful picture book. The depiction of school-life is brilliant, with noise, business, games and chaotic fun, all illustrated beautifully to match the energy of a primary setting. " - BooktrustThe hilarious and heartfelt debut picture book from Katie Clapham, illustrated by Nadia Shireen - creator of the bestselling, highly acclaimed Grimwood series and Barbara Throws a Wobbler - will help kids feel better about those first-day-at-school nerves, as well as encouraging all children to create a safe and welcoming space for others.Because, really, starting school can be scary. And being a New Kid in a new school can also be very scary. Luckily, this book will help soothe first-day nerves, make kids feel excited about the challenge and also show children how to be the PERFECT Tour Guide and make any New Kid feel right at home. And did we mention this book is very funny? Because it really is. So, come along and join THE TOUR with Katie Clapham and Nadia Shireen. First stop? The toilets. Because they're great for singing in. (And also for weeing.) And don't forget to show them the library and its one MILLION books (remember to use your quiet mouse voice!), the playground (where you can play Worldwide Hairdressers!) and ... the EMERGENCY MEET UP PLACE (just in case anyone gets lost). But REMEMBER, sometimes when you're a New Kid it can all be ... a bit too much. And that's when the New Kid doesn't need you to be a tour guide anymore, they need you to be ... a friend.

Vem drömmer inte om att driva en liten bokhandel i en charmig brittisk kuststad? Med sin familj? Kunderna kommer in för att bläddra, småprata, på jakt efter lästips eller den perfekta presenten. Andra besöker butiken av mer oväntade skäl – för att låna en skruvmejsel, hitta en präst eller fråga om det finns något trevligt ställe att äta omelett på i närheten. Den vanligaste frågan Katie får är när hennes mamma är tillbaka. Dagarna går med sina glädjeämnen och frustrationer, allt medan Katie och hennes familj plöjer ner tid och kärlek i den lilla bokhandeln och sina kunder. Segrarna i bokhandeln är små och hårt förtjänade: en avvärjd fikakris, en bok identifierad utifrån gåtfulla ledtrådar, en dag med plus i kassan. En rolig, överraskande och kärleksfull berättelse om ett bokhandlarår och en livsbejakande hyllning till dåligt väder, bra böcker och den oersättliga roll en lokal bokhandel spelar.
KATIE CLAPHAM driver bokhandeln Storytellers Inc i St Annes on Sea med sin familj. Hon är författare till flera hyllade barnböcker och har tilldelats pris för sitt arbete i bokhandeln.
